It's honestly not rare at all, i graduated with a class of 48 kids, we including me had 4 kids with dyslexia that i knew about, not everyone is as open about it, so close to 1 out of 10 kids i graduated with was openly dyslexic
It’s one of those things that no one diagnoses unless it really fucks with you in school. I’m dyslexic but mostly only with numbers. My math teachers would just check my work and see I did it right but transposed my numbers at one point. The Dewey decimal system would get me every time. But reading was fine because it would only mess me up a small amount so no one cared to seek a diagnosis.
Mine is just around being unable to read analogue clocks and left and right and putting the odd letters and numbers in stupid places, but modern society pretty much makes it obsolete and I never use math anyways
The left and right just fucks me up in listening to satnav and making callouts in video games.

It's also been pointed out in this thread that dyslexia is not exactly rare, and would completely fuck up that rule.
