    Mainly when I read, stuff moves around and I can’t read phonetically i learned to read by memorizing how words look as a whole. so I sometimes get words that sounds the same mixed up and my spelling is garbage. So whatever my keyboard gives me is what I go with. Thanks for the empathy and compassion.

      Are you in a position to get some help with dyslexia/VPD? I have a friend in his 40s that is just getting his dyslexia/calculia addressed, and it is helping quite a bit.

        Yeah I was taught coping skills back in the 90s. It hasn’t affected me that much. I hold down a good job and communicate just fine with everyone I need to. Only issue I have ever had is smug jerks on the internet lacking empathy. Saying like the stuff above instead hey I think you ment their vs they are and moving on with the conversation. Instead of the sad need to look superior like they are the god keepers of the language.
