I Spel av troner Tywin Lannister har följande konversation med Arya Stark. Även om samtalets punkt främst är att pryva in i Arias hemliga identitet, har följande ljud som Jaime Lannister dyslexi.
Tywin Lannister: Who taught you to read?
Arya Stark: My father, my lord.
Tywin Lannister: Hmm. I taught my son Jaime to read. The maester came to me one day, told me he wasn't learning. He couldn't make sense of the letters. He reversed them in his head. The maester said he'd heard tell of this affliction and that we simply must accept it. Ha! After that, I sat Jaime down for four hours every day until he learned. He hated me for it, for a time. For a long time. But he learned.

Den här berättelsen upprepas sedan av Jaime själv, även om tidsmängden är annorlunda.
Jaime Lannister: I hated to read as a child, but my father forced me to study the books every morning before I could practice with sword or horse. Two hours every day holed up in the maester's chambers. I learned a lot of fancy words.

Jag har tittat runt för att se om Jaime ska ha dyslexi i böckerna, men har inte gjort någonting meningsfullt, men det kan påpeka att han har det. Min känsla är att det här är en enda historia, särskilt för att den ursprungligen uppstår mellan Tywin och Arya.
Men jag skulle vilja veta om någonting i böckerna pekar på att Jaime har dyslexi? Om inte vilken bevisning finns det att detta är en show-händelse?
Under Jaims tid i kungens landning som Lord Commander of King's Guard beskrivs han för att läsa och titta igenom den vita boken ganska ofta. Han är också mer orolig över att behöva skriva med sin vänstra hand specifikt än att behöva skriva alls. Som sådan verkar det som om det mest är att när han var ung var han bara inte intresserad av böcker.
Within the White Book was the history of the Kingsguard. Every knight who'd ever served had a page, to record his name and deeds for all time. On the top left-hand corner of each page was drawn the shield the man had carried at the time he was chosen, inked in rich colors. Down in the bottom right corner was the shield of the Kingsguard; snow-white, empty, pure. The upper shields were all different; the lower shields were all the same. In the space between were written the facts of each man's life and service. The heraldic drawings and illuminations were done by septons sent from the Great Sept of Baelor three times a year, but it was the duty of the Lord Commander to keep the entries up to date.
My duty, now. Once he learned to write with his left hand, that is. The White Book was well behind. The deaths of Ser Mandon Moore and Ser Preston Greenfield needed to be entered, and the brief bloody Kingsguard service of Sandor Clegane as well. New pages must be started for Ser Balon Swann, Ser Osmund Kettleblack, and the Knight of Flowers. I will need to summon a septon to draw their shields.

He took his own good time about it, though, or else the Knight of Flowers proved hard to find. Several hours had passed by the time they arrived, the slim handsome youth and the big ugly maid. Jaime was sitting alone in the round room, leafing idly through the White Book. "Lord Commander," Ser Loras said, "you wished to see the Maid of Tarth?"
