I have dyslexia. The best way I can explain it is that when I read, it's more like I'm sampling from a probability distribution than actually seeing what's on the page. This is why I have difficulty spelling too...because I'm not sure which way something is spelled, i.e., when I sample from the spelling distribution, multiple competing items come out and I don't know which one is the correct one.
This website isn't accurate for me per say...but I guess it does capture the "hazy" feeling when I read.
I do believe us dyslexics have significantly different brains. I get along with dyslexics more than neurotypicals. We seem to have a strange bond. I suppose we're more "abstract" thinkers...in the sense that we are used to reasoning about spaces instead of particular instances...owing to the probabilistic nature of our minds...but maybe I'm using the wrong language here.
