I'm dyslexic but I have no trouble reading, I just flip letters and numbers around while they are stored in my head primarily. I dont look at individual letters as much the shape of words and context clues so changing a letter or two doesn't matter. If this effect was about half the speed I might get though the article without noticing.
Unless you're dyslexic, then you might not be reading it at all.
This is not real or true.I have dyslexia and have never seen text like that.I have no trouble seeing letters or words, I just can't associate the sounds with the letters, so I can't spell or read new words (based on the sounds).I've dealt with it by remembering tons of words.
Probably, dyslexia can be like that.
I don't know about other dyslexics but this not what it feels like to me. For me the words don't move they're just different. The letters are often swapped, I could stare at a word for a long time because I can't quite tell what it is.I even looked at the title of this and thought it was spelled right but then something inside my head said "look again". When I went to the site the problem is the words move rapidly and the changes are too obvious. The challeng
I was diagnosed with mild dyslexia in the 1980s. I mix up d and b and write some letters upside down (numbers are not a problem, 6s and 9s, but I was told that I write my 8s upside down). I was always a prolific reader but could not spell at all.Early 2000s I read a paragraph [1] about how people can read sentences that have the letters scrambled as long as the first and last letters are in the right place. I think it is a general phenomenon (Typoglycemia on wikipedia [2]) and not just the dy
there are fonts designed for dyslexia, they look weird but are actually fairly readable.https://www.dyslexiefont.com/en/typeface/https://www.opendyslexic.org/
Reminds me of people with dyslexia. I wonder if the two are related.
Potentially dyslexia on my part.
I wonder if it's dyslexia-adjacent. Dyslexic people famously have particular difficulty distinguishing rotated and reflected letterforms.
