I have some mild dyslexia, and for me the biggest thing is that the letters don't "jump around", they are permanently out of place, or in some cases letters are consistently "added".
I play a videogame where there is a character named "Medivh" (pronounced ma-deev). Even knowing that, even having played that character for over a year, I still read it as med-va.
And a lot of words are like that, I'll be reading along and hit a word like constantly and read it as "consistently" even though it doesn't make sense, then get confused and need to re-read. Or like in your second sentence I read "concrete-trate" and had to reread it to make sense of the word.
- seba_dos1 9y agoSwitching letters and words like what you described happens to me occasionally *but not consistently) when I'm really tired or not fully awake yet. Just wondering - do fonts like https://opendyslexic.org/ https://opendyslexic.org/ make it easier for you to read?
- Klathmon 9y agoI don't know if openDyslexic works for me, I really don't like the look of the font and haven't really read it long enough to see if it makes a difference.
- naikrovek 9y agoIs it easier to type with your eyes closed? I guess I don't know if it's the eyes doing things wrong or some language center somewhere in the mind.
- Klathmon 9y agoNeither really when it comes to typing, just the occasional instance where i get "lost" and end up just typing gibberish and need to go back a sentence or 2. For me I don't think it's a visual thing, it happens regardless of font, size, or how easy it is to see at the moment.
