I'm by no means unable to read or comprehend text, I'm smart enough for life and people often compliment my intellect. Big tickets on myself I know.

However when it comes to reading anything it often takes me twice as long, just a meme with text or anything.

If I don't concentrate on it I miss words or like an Ai hallucination I put random words into the sentence or muddle them around making things often hilarious for myself until I re read the text to get the actual meaning.

I have it probably similar and I have disgrafia so I think this could be because of disgrafia/dyslexia.

[–] Aussiemandeus@aussie.zone 2 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Disgrafia?

I know i can google but I'm curious from your perspective

[–] Emi@ani.social 2 points 2 days ago

Like yakko said, disgrafia is impaired handwriting. I have terrible handwriting and have difficulty writing letters that are similar to others like for instance a and o is very similar to write or p and just or r and z. There's just small difference between them.

Like dyslexia but with numbers. For a friend the were brilliant but math took them a long time to work through

[–] Aussiemandeus@aussie.zone 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Ah cool I often wondered about numbers and dyslexia

[–] yakko@feddit.uk 5 points 2 days ago

I'm pretty sure dysgraphia is impaired handwriting. Dyscalculia would be maths.
