you can't exacly "get" dislexia, you're born with it.

There is no age, usually before you're like older older. the signs are the scrambled words such as thinking that "big" is "dig". and words that are similar are other words that are similar to them. Also, you mis up numbers a lot. like "10" and "100". You can also mis up the days of the week thinking it "Tuesday" when it's "Thursday".
Thats about all i can know about.

What Is Dyslexia?
Dyslexia is a chronic reading problem. It is a very common learning difficulty, affecting a large percentage of those labeled "learning disabled." According to the National Institute of Health, up to 15% of the US population has significant difficulty learning to read. People with dyslexia may have trouble with reading, writing, spelling, math, and sometimes, music. Three times as many boys as girls have dyslexia.
Most people think dyslexia is a condition that involves reading from right to left and reversing words and letters. While some people with dyslexia do have these problems, they are not the most common or most important characteristics of dyslexia. Experts say dyslexia has little to do with recognizing the visual form of words; rather, the brains of people with dyslexia are wired differently, making it difficult for them to break the letters of written words into the distinct sounds (or phonemes) of their language, a capability called phonological awareness.
Dyslexia can occur at any level of intellectual ability. Sometimes children with dyslexia appear to their teachers and parents to lack motivation or not to be trying hard enough. Dyslexia may be accompanied by -- but is not a result of -- lack of motivation, emotional or behavioral problems, and sensory impairment.
A more positive view of dyslexia describes people with dyslexia as visual, multidimensional thinkers who are intuitive, highly creative, and excel at hands-on learning. Many dyslexic people shine in the arts, creativity, design, computing, and lateral thinking.
What Causes It?
Dyslexia tends to run in families, and researchers have identified the genes that may be responsible for the condition.
Scientists have found specific brain malfunctions involved in dyslexia. Brain images show that dyslexia results from certain structural differences in the brain, particularly in the left hemisphere.
Brains of people with dyslexia show very little activity in areas known to be highly important in linking the written form of words with their phonetic components. So in order to read, people with dyslexia must sprout alternative neurological pathways. They compensate by making more use of a front-brain section called Broca's area, traditionally associated with other aspects of language processing and speech.

Hope that helped. Hey I kind of have it too, especially with numbers...my math teachers just love me.

Dyslexia is not something you just "get". Dyslexics are born with it, however some are diagnosed at a later age. Most dyslexics will eventually hit a brick wall (figuratively speaking) and not be able to get any farther.
Some signs are reversed letters, lack of organizational skills, possible add or adhd or anxiety disorders, problems with spacing (example: the dog ran fast may be written or seen as th edogr anfas t)
There are new technologies that can determine if one is dyslexic. the newest involves a cheek swab to see if one carries the gene for it. :)

Signs and symptoms
Dyslexia can be difficult to recognize before your child enters school, but some early clues may indicate a problem. If your young child begins talking late, adds new words slowly and has difficulty rhyming, he or she may be at increased risk of dyslexia.
Once your child is in school, signs and symptoms of dyslexia may become more apparent, including:
The inability to recognize words and letters on a printed page
A reading ability level well below the expected level for the age of your child
Children with dyslexia commonly have problems processing and understanding what they hear. They may have difficulty comprehending rapid instructions, following more than one command at a time or remembering the sequence of things. Reversals of letters (b for d) and a reversal of words (saw for was) are typical among children who have dyslexia. Reversals are common for children age 6 and younger who don't have dyslexia. But with dyslexia, the reversals persist.
Children with dyslexia may also try to read from right to left, may fail to see (and occasionally to hear) similarities and differences in letters and words, may not recognize the spacing that organizes letters into separate words, and may be unable to sound out the pronunciation of an unfamiliar word.
