Apr 23, 2016 at 1:53 comment added Frames Catherine White Using "A dyslexic" and "the dyslexic", rather than "A dyslexic person" and "The dyslexic person"; strikes me as off. Gramatically legal, I think, but poor style. I need to get home and find my APA Style Guide. I have a feeling it is good style that when a condition is both an adjective and a noun in common use, to always refer to the the person with the condition as <Adjective> Person (or <Adjective> Collaborator in this case). I believe this is also on of the reasons for as not refering to women as "females". Once I check, I may propose an edit to your very good answer (+1'd).
