| Question about Dyslexia
I was under the impression that Dyslexia had more to do with how you perceived information rather than how you communicate it.
Rather than make a mistake interpreting what it is, in hopes of identifying a problem I think I have, I decided to ask my questions here to people knowledgeable in these subjects. I wanted to know if this had anything to do with Dyslexia.
I find myself having a few problems when writing letters or posts. I will pace around the room trying to form the ideas I want to write down, so I do take a good 30 min to an hour writing down a full letter. Or 15 min writing down a short post like this one. However, when I review the posts I find that 75% of the time or more, I posted incomplete sentences. I will miss an "and" or an "or" or a "the" in several places. I usually make 3-4 mistakes like that. I don't become away of those mistakes when I'm reviewing them. I see them after the mails have been sent, or the posts have been posted.
Additionally, when I'm speaking, I sometimes find myself saying a word that is the complete opposite or has nothing to do with what I'm trying to say. For example, if I'm in a car giving directions, and we need to turn left, I'll say "Make a turn here to the right" (and I'm pointing to the left). I meant to say left, and I believe I said left, until I am able to remember the sound that came out of my mouth that makes me realize I actually said right.
That happens to me once a day in a conversation. Maybe it's just me being distracted. Or maybe it's an issue I have that's part of a bigger problem.
I don't know if anyone else has had similar experiences, or knows someone who has? And I wonder if anyone knows if this has anything to do with Dyslexia.
Thanks for reading.
