The Dyslexia Myth

Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe.

This is probably true - after you’ve practiced reading for years.

Here’s a recent thread about dyslexia. sevenwood’s post is particularly helpful here, I think:

@sevenwood

My oldest daughter is severely dyslexic. […] To me, text on a page is static. It just sits there quietly. To her, that same text is constantly moving. Or as she used to say as a kid “the letters run around.” There is no real difference between a “d” and a “b” - they’re both the same (or more precisely one flips around and becomes the other).
