Ok, sometimes when I'm reading something I might read a little fast.But then, I notice it didn't make sense so I go over it again and its a whole different word!Example, a sentence says "Me and Tony like to speak spanish with Uncle Marco",but I saw it as ,"Me and Tony like to speak spanish unlike Marco".Do I have dyslexia?
| yes | 6 | |
| no | 31 | |
| maybe | 40 |
No that doesn't mean you have dyslexia. A lot of people when they aren't really paying attention read something completely different from what it actually was, I've done that. Dyslexia is more when you have trouble reading or learning words because all the words jumble around so say it says 'I like books' to someone with dyslexia it may read 'I eikl okobs.' Though that is only one example, there is a possibility, you have dyslexia but my guess is no you don't, but when in doubt get tested.
When I was in grade one I spelled every one the words exactly right but backwards. So my parents had me tested for dyslexia, I didn't have dyslexia, turned out I had ADHD.
However, let it be known that dyslexia is a very broad spectrum. I myself have it and have no issues with words being jumbled or anything like that. It's more to do with learning foreign languages and handwriting, in my case.
Yes I know that that's why I said 'though that is only one example'. I know that there is no one specific definition of any disability. The jumbled words is sort of the stereotypical thought when someone here's dyslexia, just like when people hear ADHD they think hyper, can't sit still, etc. but for me it was more racing thoughts and having trouble spelling.
Can't read perfect all the time.
Dyslexia is way more serious. They read and write backwards. They see words that aren't there. They'll see a word or a sentence from the corner of their eye and read it as if it's on the same page. They see letters mixed up...
Not Dyslexia, but it does sound like you have some habits you should correct to help make reading a little easier for you. I think you just need to read a little more and it should help you pay attention to the words you see. I suggest googling some reading tips and such.
There are many neurological issues that can cause similar symptoms. Your best bet would be to see a doctor.
Only a doctor can diagnose you. It's pretty normal to misread words if you're reading fast. Like, I thought the username "myboyfriendsbitch" was "my boyfriend is a bitch." I also thought "howaminotmyself" was "how i am into myself." Haha
Well I always read the username "howaminotmyself" like if it said how am i to myself...
