Answer 1

Well, not to put you down but a lot of dyslexic people are good at math and terrible at English, reading, etc.

Answer 2

May have to do with right brain, left brain. I cant spell very well at all, but I can read, draw and do math very well and I am not Dyslexic. Once I am in a creative mode and drawing I cant even spell my name at times. I finally had a teacher explain to me that spelling is on one side of the brain and creativity is on the other. There are several tests for this type of thing. Either way they can find how your brain works and help you overcome anything, you just may have to learn differently. Good Luck :-)

Answer 3

hey go see a optometrist, this can become serious.

I have a friend who has dyslexia, he do well on all other aspects of stuff such as arts, math, and sports, but because he did not fix the problem soon enough his dyslexia became permanent. The Dr. said that if early interventions were taken place, corrections could have been made, but now it's too late

that's so sad.

So go see one ASAP, i am not kidding.

Answer 4

Just because you're good at math doesn't make you not dyslexic. If you think you are, I suggest you talk to your guidance counselor, and they can arrange for the appropriate tests to be done to confirm or disprove it.
