The CAO does not contact your school.

The CAO has nothing to do with your school. They don't share any information.

Although they don't contact your school, I'm pretty sure a friend of mine had to get a letter from the guidance counsellor to prove she was dyslexic. Nothing to be ashamed of at all, so don't worry about it too much and if your dyslexia is very bad, you have the option of doing your exams on a laptop too
