Look, I know I already made a post about this here and it seems like I fixed it, but I kind of didn’t. Someone on that post commented that I should just read with one eye closed and that should fix it, but I failed to mention that it just doesn’t make sense… Mentally.
I’ll read a sentence and it just won’t make any sense to me. I can recall a time where this happened and it was a sentence along the lines of “She was taking out the trash.” Or something like that, and I remember it just didn’t make sense. I know I already said I don’t think this is Dyslexia in the last post but I’m kind of starting to think it is.
I do this thing with numbers where say it’ll be a number like 76 and I’ll think it says 67. I’ll read it as 67 and think of it as 67. This happens a lot and actually fucks up my math grade sometimes If I don’t catch myself. I also have trouble pronouncing names or words as well which I believe is a trait of dyslexia.
I also do the following frequently:
Difficulty summarizing a story. Difficulty doing math word problems (hence, reversing numbers and thinking sentences don’t make sense.)
I’m going off of a Mayo Clinic “Symptoms of Dyslexia” website in teens sooo.
But I’m not a doctor and I’m kind of iffy on self-diagnosing 'cause it’s like… Taboo I guess? Again I’m not even entirely sure it’s Dyslexia.
Don’t worry, happens all the time.
Thank you so much, comrade. It’s so nice to have a place to talk about stuff like this and to have people relate.
