I figured out a couple years ago that my son has dyslexia. He said that letters "wiggle their butts" and the letters slide around. He reads more quickly than average because of the way I taught him to read (subtitled anime), but with poor precision. He gets words wrong or jumbles the word order. It takes a bit to explain to his teachers.

If everything you read is a friggin' anagram, then I say dyslexics get gold medals just for *trying* to read anything. I'd lose my mind in about two seconds flat. I knew about the inverted/confused letters, but not that whole words get jumbled. Yowch. Cred to those with dyslexia! You're braver than I'd be.

With my dyslexia, the words are static but my brain interprets them wrong, or I write them backwards or upside down without at first realizing it. Sometimes I see letters or numbers mixed up without knowing there's been a mistake, but I never see the letters or numbers activity moving around. I can't write dictated or copied information and process it at the same time. That REALLY can inhibit taking notes. I learned to write quickly and loved lectures, because the spoken word was easier than written, but learned absolutely the best with lectures who told stories and stated facts more than once.

I have taken many dyslexic tests and always found to be ok. However, looking at the video it is exactly what I see. I also suffer from a form of dyslexia where my mind predicts what the next word is likely to be based on the sentence structure, topic, etc. Sometimes I say the word that isn't there., stop stutter, mumble my words and get embarrassed.

and then add to this, the fact that english is NOT a phonetic language (to, two, too. Bear, bare. They're, their, there.....).... and it makes learning how to read / write the english language even harder again. I had a friend that was considered dyslexic in english because of their horrendous spelling (very very very smart guy - just awful spelling). Until I started to teach him Spanish, which is a phonetic language. Suddenly, all his frustrations within reading / writing English, totally disappeared, and how he saw himself also totally changed. (as a result, he began to question whether the diagnosis of dyslexia was accurate, or if it was a different kind of learning difference.) Dyslexia is hard enough, let alone dyslexia within a non-phonetic language.

Is this a typical example? or worse case scenario?

i was never diagnosed but i am slightly dyslexia not in reading but in writing i am always switching letters around if i write to fast

It is getting some support that cursive helps the dyslexia to keep the letters from shifting. Connecting the letters, stay in place.

I had no problem reading it but then that's how I have learned to read and how my brain processes it, that's the whole point of this, you can't be taught to read randomly jumbled up words at the same rate I can read normal words.

The first and the last letter are always correct in her text, which makes reading at least possible (as a non dyslexic myself, I rarely actually read words, I just glance and guess anyway). I wonder if dyslexic people have the ability to at least identify the first and the last letter or everything is scrambled.

Us with Dyslexia(what a had word by the way) have unlocked a secret language that no normally reading person can unlock! Its our secret superpower but also our kryptonite at the same time

For me dyslexia is kinda like a "skipping cd" it's like my brain gets stuck between two or more things and bounces between them until finally just choosing one or overcoming the skip and choosing the correct thing. The ADHD didn't help specially while trying to read. I would skip lines or come across a trigger word that would send my brain somewhere else while still reading. If I am giving someone a ride and they say "turn right" there is a 50% chance I will turn left. What really helped as a teen until current were comic books. Having the text broken up between panels helped with my dyslexia and the art helped to keep my ADHD in check while reading.

That one at the end is pretty concerning. I have ADHD, and so do most of my friends, and none of us have experienced that. The only ADHD-related issue with reading I'm aware of is reading something and losing your focus. It feels like the letters are a fish wriggling around in my hand, but nothing actually looks different, it's all internal. I'm not an expert, but I'm almost certain that if you're seeing letters moving you've got something else going on. This article says that a lot of people with ADHD have dyslexia as well, so maybe that's what's going on here? https://www.healthline.com/health/adhd/dyslexia-and-adhd#adhd-or-dyslexia

if you are dyslexic, you might be a demigod :O
