There might be something to it.

To wit, Comic Sans is recommended by the British Dyslexia Association and the Dyslexia Association of Ireland. An American Institute of Graphic Arts post from last summer said that it might be the best font for dyslexics, given its "character disambiguation" and "variation in letter heights". While other fonts have been specifically designed to be read by people with dyslexia — Dyslexie and OpenDyslexic are two — they just don’t have the availability of Comic Sans. To hate on Comic Sans is “ableist", Hudgins argues, and doing so discounts the reading difficulties of millions of people.
