is it possible to be dixelsyc while typing though you can read fine?

Answer 1

one of my hands moves faster than the other when I type, which makes it seem like what you are talking about.

Answer 2

I'm pretty sure it's possible, depending on the severity of your dyslexia. A lot of times dyslexics skip over small words or say a completely different word from what is printed when reading (a lot of times unaware that they have), so it seems plausible that you could potentially do the same things, especially reversing letters or numbers when typing. Again it depends on each individual, because everyone is different when it comes to reading and writing, and with dyslexia, it all depends on what your main problems are from dyslexia, everyone's varies.

Answer 3

Dyslexia (a.k.a. reading disability or learning disability) is a specific breakdown in reading at the level of decoding and encoding, where other intellectual functioning is normal. It is not, as popularly supposed, related to perceptual and motor functioning. Dyslexics see and hear just like everyone else. Their problem is specifically with using the alphabetic code.

Alphabetic coding depends on recognizing phonemes in spoken words. Problems with reading develop for dyslexics because they don't recognize phonemes in spoken words. For example, as children, they can't tell if /u/ is in sun or moon. This makes learning to read and spell words difficult.

Compounding the difficulty, dyslexics are otherwise normal or even bright, which means they can memorize words or guess words from context and initial letters well enough to hide the problem for a year or two. When others learn more efficient ways to recognize words and the teacher moves on, the dyslexic still hasn't mastered decoding.

If the problem is not corrected, dyslexics have to give inordinate attention to working out words from phonetic cues and context, rather than acquiring a large sight vocabulary for instant word recognition.

The problem with typing is probably related to spelling. Where skillful readers store complete spellings in memory for instant word recognition, dyslexics store incomplete spellings and have to reconstruct them rather than remember them. The spelling DIXELSYC is a reconstruction from remembered letters that doesn't quite map out the pronunciation.

The good news about dyslexia is that everything else is working well. This means that dyslexics are gifted poor readers who are relatively exempt from the usual consequences of poor reading--poor vocabulary, a dearth of concepts, stunted verbal intelligence.

It also means that the dyslexic has unusual resources for learning to read and spell, given the right sort of remedial instruction.

Answer 4

yes... at least from my experience... I have to be very careful when I type... I cross o's for a's and t's for n's unless I am paying very close attention.... I noticed the same way back when I was a kid and tried to take piano lessons... certain finger placements just did not work for me... when I got to HighSchool and typing class it came out clear that there was a problem.. I controled it by lots of practice and concentration... but under stress it gets out of control... Thanks to computers and spell check I do better... I am also a lousy speller.... I never had any problem with reading at all.... but now that I am older the finger mixups are harder to control... of course some of that is stiffness

Answer 5

Yes, I read fine but have trouble spelling and tend to reverse numbers and letters.

Answer 6

Not sure, but I know my brain works much faster than my fingers making for some very creative spellings sometimes.

Answer 7

It is eniretly poibssle bacesue the bairn reads wrods all at once istnead of sqeunetially. Make sense?

Answer 8

depends how well you can type i suppose, if you can read fine then i dont think so!

Answer 9

Yes, but my boyfriend is heavily dyslexic, so I'm probably more practised than most people.

Answer 10

i think so...
im that way with numbers but not words
kinda sucks
