Anyone here really versed on dyslexia?

I've got horrible spelling, really i do, and my math sucks; dyslexia. Over the years I’ve really started to notice it more and more. At first it was trouble with mathematics, then it developed into mathematics and spelling. It kind of held off there for a long time but in the past two or five years it’s developed way beyond that.

It’s now to the point where words in common phrases are switched around when I speak. When I copy down a string of numbers one or two of them will be transposed. This is happening more and more frequently. Does anyone know if dyslexia can actually increase?

You've heard of the dyslexic agnostic insomniac? He laid awake at night, wondering if there really was a dog.

Sorry. How old are you? I have very slight dyslexia and notice it getting somewhat worse w/ age. I'm 55, and can notice a difference from, say five years ago. I think stress exacerbates it too.

HAHA, that's too funny!

It's not really dyslexia but my middle- and highschools offered Japanese and so I took it for seven years or so. In Japanese, the translation for numbers 4 and 7 are incredibly similar and I would always mess them up in Japanese class. And years later I actually mess up speaking/writing/typing 4 and 7 in English a surprising number of times daily.

It makes sense that actual dyslexia could get worse with age as the brain atrophies and possibly making the dyslexia more pronounced.

I have some more shots at dyslexia though:

Zap: I suffer from a very sexy learning disability. What do I call it, Kif?
Kif: *sigh* Sexlexia

and let's not forget:

I don't have dyslexia as far as I know, but as I get older (I just turned 38), I notice that when I'm reading, my brain kind of fills in things that it expects to be there but aren't necessarily. I'll go back and read a sentence again carefully and it may or may not say exactly what I thought I had read.

I also notice that I tend to transpose numbers quite often if I read them and even a few seconds later write or type them.

It can be a serious learning disability, it can make it very, very difficult to read.

You might want to get a neuro consult. It could be something else. Im not a doctor but i think i seen in on the learning channel or House, I cant remember.

Dyslexia is an impairment in your brain's ability to translate written images received from your eyes into meaningful language. Transposition errors in writing or speaking aren't dyslexia, even though the popular press gives that impression. There are other neurological conditions, which can occur alongside dyslexia, that fit your descriptions. Aphasia is a disorder that robs you of the ability to communicate. Chronic transposition errors can be ADD.

I've noticed that 95% of my typing transpositions occur when a letter typed by my right hand should lead a letter typed by my left hand, but ends up behind it. Just seems like my left hand is faster. It is also better with a pistol, even though I'm right-handed.

I do that too. Wasn't a problem until a couple of years ago. I always get certian letters backwards and have to go back and type them again. usually ld like in could, would be dl like in coudl. That sort of thing. not dyslexia, just annoying. just need to slow down.
