My first hot take about learning disabilities is that the boundaries between dyslexia vs dyspraxia vs dysgraphia vs dyscalculia vs dysphasia vs NVLD vs autism vs ADHD vs (trails off) are entirely arbitrary, and people have constellations of symptoms that we awkwardly try to fit in diagnosable boxes.

My second hot take is that if you call them "learning differences" you are doing respectability politics and I will bite you.
