    I am 57 years old and I can read properly but I have a problem grasping, understanding or memorizing what I’ve read. Am I dyslexic?

      If you have had these problems with reading comprehension & memory your whole life, then they are very likely tied to dyslexia, which is tied to the way the brain processes language. If the problems have only started recently then there could be other medical issues that might be the reason for the changes.
