Hmm, your (Snyder's?) definition sounds extremely different from any
autism definitions I have encountered within (neuro)psychiatry, and I
have not encountered the idea that dyslexia is a part of the autism
spectrum before. Any sources for this? It doesn't sound like any
consensus view, and I have a hard time believing this is going to be in
DSM V.
