But if an author is asking me to pay for a book, I don't care whether the author is dyslexic, or knows English as a second language, or has any other kind of disability. What I care about is a good story well told, with a minimum of grammar and spelling errors. If we're talking fan fiction or something like that, that's different. But if I'm asked to pay for it, I expect professional output. If I'm paying for it, the author shouldn't expect me to provide guidance for them to learn better.

Exactly. Any guidance the author needs should be sought prepublication; the author can find a class or a support group or beta readers. Paying customers deserve a finished product as close to perfect as the author can make it.
