SecondUniverse<p>I ask periodically but haven't found an answer yet. My partner has dyslexia, and I definitely don't have that (I can easily help her spell any word she asks), but I when typing I transpose S/2/5, 1/L and of course 0/O. I also substitute words like suitcase/briefcase. I also reverse the order of letters. When reading, numbers in particular, the digits seem to shift around, and if a digit is repeated I struggle to count how many times it is repeated. Is there a name for this? <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/actuallyAutistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>actuallyAutistic</span></a> <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/dyslexia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>dyslexia</span></a> <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/brain" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>brain</span></a> <a href="https://autistics.life/tags/neuroscience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>neuroscience</span></a></p>
