dyslexia in children or dementia are these two alike each other

Many children at their early stages when they are about to learn new things and are in the process of becoming report says that 5 out of hundred got involved in such type of disease i think we should not call it a disease because it can be cured by proper care and attention and giving proper time to the effected child..
But i have seen many patients at the aged care center who have been diagnosed with dementia and they can't remember and see things rightly so my question is dementia no doubt is a very harmful disease and no cure had been found yet so in these two diseases are the symptoms alike same.... or what

No, I don't think the symptoms are the same.
