I haven't noticed!

Wow. Your more articulate then me, and I dont have dyslexia.

It drives me crazy and I have made lists of spelling and grammatic mistakes.. Just kidding! Love ya FGG

Yay! high five for the dyslexic club! I also have dyspraxia, dyscalculia, and scotopic interference too! None of it was ever picked up on, until I was 18 and in college. It has never held me back. In fact, I love it. It amazes me, that I can write down a mobile number the wrong way round, and not even notice haha.

@TheDanishGirl please you are bilingual (at least. For all i know, you speak 6 languages). Give yourself wayyy more credit.

@Steph1710 , lol. I can relate. I have many stories of writing my number wrong for people and them thinking i purposely gave them a wrong number.

@Steph1710 , the hardest for me is reading out loud. Much harder than writing. I have to go really, really slow. Do you have this too?

@FGG oh yes! Reading out loud is definitely my weak point. I can't follow a sentence. I guess I'm an academic (though that sounds pretty pompous) so I'm writing a lot. BUT, I'm incredibly slow at that too. Though it's more to do with concentration rather than anything else. Do you have concentration issues? What do you do for work?

It's so interesting to find out what careers people with "learning" disabilities end up in/choose. Actually, I like writing on Tinnitus Talk, as I have the chance to be informal, and don't have to worry about spelling/grammar too much - like I have to at work.

@Steph1710 , I was a veterinarian. Haven't been able to practice since my hearing issues. Funnily enough, when I was a kid, I dreamed of being a fiction writer. I have actually written probably 100+ short stories and even a novel I was in the process of editing that I just can't focus on now. My dyslexia isn't at all severe, just "annoying" but reading out loud is seriously the worst of it.
