Dyslexic mistake

Post Reply New Topic

Sometimes, I have to read a sentence three or four times. It takes me at least twice as long to read something as a normal person (although my comprehension is rated superior). I have to use my hands to determine left and right when giving directions (although my map memorization is almost photographic). I write the letters in words in the wrong order. I will be thinking a number correctly, but write or say it in the wrong order. I sometimes write letters backward or up-side-down. When writing a b or d I have to stop and think about which way it goes. I am ambidextrous and I recently found out that I am dyspraxic. I thought other people might share and I wanted to see what percentage of us this affects.

I'm sorry everyone. I hope we can still get a rather accurate result.

It's alright. Everyone makes mistakes once in a blue moon.

I think I'm about at the borderline of dyspraxia and not.

Hand-eye coordination related tasks are best described by me not being able to execute what I know to do, even for simple tasks.

I'm pretty sure I qualified for childhood dyspraxia of speech. I was completely unable to pronounce certain sounds, though I would actively try to. I didn't have control of details like intonation even throughout middle school. I still completely can't make some sounds that others can - if people describe how to make these sounds, I can't do what they say to do. The issues I had when I was younger, people were able to work with me, explicitly teaching me how to position my mouth, and over years eventually I started being able to make the correct sounds.

I don't know whether it was considered significant enough to get a diagnosis like that, but it was significant enough to drastically confuse people and convince people I couldn't read because I couldn't pronounce the words.

Dunno whether I should say "none" or "dyspraxia" though.

Problems with speech is a very autistic symptom.
When I talk all my words come out in the wrong order. Sometimes medication can fix this.
So, I usually refer to it as an ADHD thing. Not saying you have ADHD but it's always dyspraxia.
Most frontal lobe disorders have similar symptoms.

I could probably pass for acquired dyspraxia but even my clumsy hand movements and unusual gait are not as severe to require a diagnosis. My epilepsy makes me kinda shaky.

Well, yes, ASDs are one of the most common co-morbids with dyspraxia.



I'm sure that I don't have ADHD, I've been actively tested and it was determined that I only have AS-related executive functioning issues, not a co-morbid of ADHD.

The question really is whether I qualify as having had enough problems to be considered dyspraxia.

I've never actually been diagnosed, but I display a lot of the symptoms. When you consider all of my other issues, it makes sense.

Don't worry, the second time is always better.. people who never fail don't learn

Then, wish I didn't learn. And I wish I only made a mistake only "once in a blue moon." Try like, a hundred times a day. I probably had to correct thirty misspellings and grammar mistakes just in this short paragraph.

I'm hyperlexic, and though I'm not diagnosed as dyslexic, I always when in a hurry mix up p's and b's-
from what I've read, the more commonly-recognized manifestations are flipping letters on a vertical, not horizontal axis.

I have excellent word decoding abilities, and read at a 12th grade level in fifth grade. What does that make me hyper-dyslexic.
