I’d guess acyrologia:acyrologic::dyslexia:dyslexic. Admittedly, that only gets you to the adjectival form, but what do you call a person who has dyslexia?

adj.
Given to the use of long words.
Long and ponderous; polysyllabic.
sol·e·cism n.
A nonstandard usage or grammatical construction.
A violation of etiquette.
An impropriety, mistake, or incongruity.
sole·cist n.
Malapropist?

Then again, there are those who say that natural languages are never redundant.
