Does it sound like I have Dyselxia?!


Question: Does it sound like I have Dyselxia?
A lot of times when I read the line above or below what I'm reading disappears. On math tests I'll totally miss questions or the other half of a problem because I didn't see it at all. (I've had my eyes checked and they're totally fine)
I also switch letters around when I read sometimes. For example, last year I had to read and re-read a sentence since I thought it said "No, I do not take cream in my office" when it really said "No, I do not take cream in my coffee".
I'm a good speller, I have an above average reading level, and letters only mix up sometimes. I know I should really be screened by someone to see if I have this but I want to know if I'm just reading into what's been going on too much! (From what I've read there are several other symptoms that seem to match me) Are there any good online tests I could take?

There may be online tests but if I was you I would go to the doctors and get checked out. What would happen if you passed an online test? Would you not bother going to the doctors then? You sound like an intelligent person; don't let this hold you back in your education and go to the doctors



Yeah dyslexia varies from case to case. I have it in reading and writing. But i'm amazing at math.
So you may or may not have it. In your case it may just be your eyes, but i'm not you.

and screening is very inconclusive



I'm not sure if you have dyslexia, because I have the same problem. But this happens with me when I'm trying to read to fast or if I am taking a test that I'm nervous about and I am just trying to hurry up and get it done. I don't know if this is your problem also, but what I do suggest is just to slow down and give yourself enough time to process what you are seeing before you try and move on to something else. This is what usually helps me. If you are still having the same problems then I suggest seeing a doctor.
