You're right, dyslexia is a bad match.

Probably should have called it dysrhetorica, failure to recognize the significance of your own arguments, as evidenced by your dismay when people tell you what they heard you say.  

Or maybe it should be humpty-dumpty-itis, as in the words mean just what I meant them to mean, and it is very hurtful to me that you heard them mean something else.

I don't grok the map to dyslexia.  But the disconnect between the
thoughts of the sender and those of the receiver is quite clear ... the
best evidence against "psi" ... or perhaps with a softening like the
"rare earth hypothesis", that psi is so rare it may as well not exist.
