What a wonderful thing you've discovered about yourself! If typing is easier than writing for you, then do what works.
I know it's hard, but if you force yourself to read every day...you will improve.
It may never be easy....and you may not enjoy it very much....but reading on a regular basis really does help.
Keep up the good work....you can do it!

Well... I don't seem to have a problem with it...
It just took me a while longer than most. I find that a black keyboard helps read the letters, but I'm totally lost on a white one.
Occasionally, I have some sort of a meltdown where, as you said, all the letters look the same, but then, If I keep my cool and try to concentrate, things seem to slowly come back.
Just keep at it and don't let yourself get discouraged, that's the key to success...

first off, what idiot would tell a someone there's medication for that? quit being ignorant!
now to answer your question... there are different types of dyslexia. i am not certain, but it stands to reason that you would be able to type well because in keyboarding you are taught to memorize the position of the keys where as in writing you have to form the letters.
assuming you are still in school - your public school system has testing available free of charge to diagnose any learning disabilities. ask to speak to a school psychologist to set up an appointment. there is much they can do to teach you how to work with dyslexia so it isn't so difficult to write, read, etc.

I'm not sure. But I don't see why not. Typing might come easier because of the way the letters are positioned on the keyboard. When you learn to type, you have to have your fingers on certain keys. Perhaps it's more of a habit thing.

Yes you can, because typing is controlled by a different portion of the brain than writing. Weird but true. Here is a good joke for you. Did you hear about the Dyslexic devil worshipper? He sold his soul to Santa!

Yes you can .
Stephen King has dislexia, and you know how many books has written.
YOU can buy keyboards (I think) to aid in that. You just see it backwards. The system for you would sort it out as you typed.It's a kind of mirror to software thing I would think.

yes. I am a suffer from dyslexia. They treat it with learning to type. My handwriting is the pits. But the typing coupled With spell check can be very helpful. i learned to read with speed reading classes and that was very helpful.

I learned to type by phonetics, so I've found that it's a lot easier to type than to write or print. If you have trouble writing, you might try all caps. It works for me.

Yes. Typing devices are one of the aids to dyslexics.

I have slight dyslexia and I have trained myself to type pretty quickly--I have a self-awareness that helps me.
Yours sounds way more serious. You may want to talk to a therapist that can help with your phonetics.
See this site for more details, and good luck!!
