Hypothetically, if a colleague has repeatedly demonstrated the utter lack of reading comprehension skills (like pulling the same door labelled “push” for the hundredth time), what job could one suggest for them where this “disability” wouldn’t be detrimental?

      Since being able to read makes you unable to voluntarily suppress reading (at least in my experience), surely there is some way to prove that.

      Edit: Considei the well-known task where you see names of colors and you have to quickly say the color of the font itself (which is different from the color written).

      Fair point. But, medically and developmentally speaking there are people with a lower mental capacity that literally can’t read. The entire adult care industry exists for a reason. Those people need something to do so they don’t simply waste away.
