Ah geez, and here we were going along so well <g>

Dyslexia is not tested for by appling "baseless age norms to a narrow 
definition of academic skills."  Dyxlexia has nothing to do with age related 
anything.  That may be the "in" way that schools are using to get more IDEA 
money but a good medical professional isn't going to use that method.

Learning styles different between humans and neurological processing differs 
between various humans.  So, while dyslexia is, in part, a learning style, 
it isn't only a learning style but is also a visual and neurological 
problem.

And, yes, I agree that it is way over diagnosed and schools should get out 
of the diagnosing business.  However, that doesn't negate the reality of a 
problem that "some" folks have.
