I think that I might be becoming dyslexic. I'm not sure if that can happen so I'm debating on whether to tell my parents.
I've recently (starting about a year ago) started having trouble with reading and with reading numbers.
Say I try to give a number out and it's something like, 764-383-9827. If I try to read it off of something that it was written on it would probably come out something like, 764-833-9728. It's really agrivating because it doesn't matter how long I look at the number; whenever it comes out of my mouth, they are always flip flopped.
It also happen with words and reading; it was just easier to explain with numbers. Sometimes I even read things that aren't even on the paper I'm reading off of. Like, if the word was "with" I might read it as "when" or "what". Should I tell my parents about it?
Do you have any old assignments that you could look over? If your old stuff has the same kinds of errors as your new stuff, maybe you're just more aware of a problem you've always had.
But, if your recent work has more mistakes, I would definitely want to see an M.D. to rule out physical causes. It could also be possible that stress or too little sleep could cause these kinds of mistakes.
