What do YOU see?


By MauriceRevek - Posted on 18 June 2013

In the hopes of clarifying things for poor Stormblade who seems to be so easily befuddled, I shall attempt to give you all insight into the mind of the dyslexic. Take this image.

To normal (Stormblade would be considered normal?) people, it is a straightforward question with an obvious error in the text on the buttons. To the dyslexic however, it can be a crap shoot as to what is seen.

Perhaps this helps Stormblade a bit in comprehending the reasoning behind my comment. Now if only I could find the magic phrase that can turn his mind to mush. Hmm... Maybe... Oh, I know.

"And now, accepting his Nobel literary prize for his novel that spent the last 52 weeks at the top of all of the worlds best seller lists and shows no signs of stopping, Maurice Revek!"

If we got neither we would spend the summer in perpetual darkness and drought, so I'm gonna go for 'Yes'.

or False.

But True.

When not false.

I have always been under the impression that dyslexia causes letters to appear jumbled, not for whole words to disappear completely. That sounds like Revekxia to me.

It's a combination of dyslexia and visual memory disorder. I see the whole sentence, I see the words, but they do not all register until either I re-read a few times or somebody points it out. I won't recognize people that I know and meet in the street, especially if it is out of context or not expecting to see them. If only my visual memory problem could allow me to forget you image. Alas, it cannot.

Is the condition completely random, or do you consistently see the same jumble? I'm curious if prupolesy mixign teh lettres in a certaine way made a sentnece more legibbel.

I don't necessarily see the letters jumbled, but they don't imprint properly in my mind when I read them if that makes sense. I will mix the letters up when I write though a lot. And it will look normal to me until it is pointed out, like with spell check. Spell check has been a great help.

It feels like a connection is not being made properly when pulling from thought or abstract and putting it into physical form (write, type, speak). It gets worse with fatigue or alcohol. Drunken speech would hit me faster than the normal person and with less alcohol.
