dyslexia is not that debiliating but it is somewhat limiting to the kind of job that you can get,*;

He may not have dyslexia but there are other learning disabilities that can affect specific subjects. For example, one of my children has dyscalcula which affects maths and spelling really badly; the other has a recall problem which affects maths and languages. There is an excellent Dyslexia Unit in Kent (I think) with a web site explaining lots of this.
I wouldn’t panic about it but I wouldn’t write it off either as it could impact other subjects. (And yes, have his eyes tested too.)

The quality of advice you are being given is poor. A trumpet teacher suggesting dyslexia? A teacher who links ADHD with OCD obsessive compulsive disorder?

Is he frustrated with his difficulties learning the trumpet? Maybe he isn’t all that interested and doesn’t value the goal enough to put in the effort required .

You seem to have good instincts. A talk with your son should would probably uncover what problems exist if any. I was an excellent student without any problems ( except being tone deaf) and so never enjoyed learning to play the oboe and dropped it without ever learning to play it well. I am sure glad my lack of interest was never thought to be dyslexia or ADD that needed help and extended my short and unwanted music experience.

Could be much simpler still. When I was having problems playing the right notes, it turned out I needed glasses!

PS Sounds like a great kid to me.

Bloody teachers. Let’s just toss a small bomb into this mum’s life and let her get on with it. I will never forget one particular woman whose main comment in one report of my daughter (brilliant at everything and sweet with it) “Talent has deserted Kerry in the Art Room”. She went on to get a GCSE in pottery.

Pinch of salt, plus wine to take the taste away.

I think the large glass of wine sounds like a good idea – much tastier than a pinch of salt. People do say the strangest things sometimes…
