Serious question; how do you know this is an exaggeration? I would assume you have no way of knowing what this site looks like to non-dyslexics, as you are effectively overlaying real dyslexia on top of simulated. Like looking at a painting of an acid trip while actually on acid, you’d have no idea whether it was representative or not.
I don’t understand how it would be possible to ever replicate it though, unless someone could be cured and then judge it’s realism.
I understood this site to be replicating the reading experience, rather than a literal reflection of what you see.
- SteveGoob 6y agoThrough concentration and compensation skills we've acquired over the years, some dyslexic people can read _almost_ normally. At least, that was the case for me. If I really mentally exert, I can often force myself to read fluidly and read almost as if proficient. The problem is that it is costly to do so and highly conditional. For example: Doing reading comprehension tests in school, I would often perform well, if not a bit slowly. Given a book report, however, I would not be able to keep up such effort for very long; reading that way was very strenuous. Furthermore, when tasked with reading out loud, I slow to a crawl, begin to stutter, and translate inaccurately. Anyways, my point is that, we can sometimes read normally, it can just be extra difficult. As for this example specifically, I can't speak to its authenticity since I don't have the "moving characters" symptoms. My issues mostly revolve around poor eye tracking.
