does “half dyslexia” exist?
i know a girl (with a history of lying) who says that she is “half dyslexic”. i found it odd because i couldn’t find any information about “half dyslexia” on the internet. she was using it as an explanation of why she mixes up people’s names. i’m sorry if i sound ignorant but i am genuinely wondering if “half dyslexia” exists. i honestly don’t know

It's like "a little bit pregnant"...
Most likely, she means that she has a mild form of dyslexia, like seeing doG rather than God, or similar to my own, which is that I have to work at seeing a full line of text as a line of text (it breaks about 3/4 of the way across, unless very short) -- it makes it hard to read a passage in a book or on the screen; I can compensate, but when I'm tired, text often just does not make sense.
Or, it its latest incarnation, there are words I just can't "remember" when I'm trying to use them; that one started a few months ago after I had a very high fever episode and my blood pressure was so low that I spent a week in the local ICU unit, with nurses and doctors observing me literally 24 hours for the whole week. It's still not totally gone, and I often take 10 minutes to make sense of a page in a book; not all the time, but enough to be noticeable. And it sometimes means I hear people talking, but can't make sense of the words they are using.
it is not a literal statement. She mixes things up, has difficulties, which she claims is a mild dyslexia. half is used to mean partially, not exactly half. partially would be a better word but sometimes people don't use it.
Sounds more attention seeking than anything.
It does not. She is only saying that for attention.
