I don't think I'm dyslexic. Honestly, I don't know that much about the disorder. I do know that I don't so much get the letters in words rearranged as the order of words or the order of lines on a pages, and of course, sometimes I tack on bits from one word onto another - but they all stay in order.

For instance, the book I'm reading now was really confusing because on one line was the word "unbelievable" and on the next line was the word "worthy" and for some reason my brain turned that into "believable" and "unworthy" and that really messed up that entire passage so I went back and checked the words until the "un" went to it's correct spot and things made sense.

I don't know if that counts as a processing problem or just me being a slow/bad reader. Because it is possible I'm just not that quick at reading. Everyone has a different skill level at it, right? I've been bad at it since I was in school and I think if I was dyslexic I'd have had more trouble with things.
