I've always wondered if I was dyslexic - I had some trouble in school in the early grades, but not later. I also mix up right and left, up and down, before and after - pretty much any words that are opposites. Most people know to translate if what I am saying seems backwards then it probably is backwards. But then I read that dyslexia is mostly reading.

Dyslexia has many forms. Most people who has Dyslexia has other similar types of problems.like the left and right mix up. I have that so much I can't drive. Well I could drive but I wont risk other people's lives before I tell my brain hit the brake but hit the gas instead. I have a real hard time with numbers as well and my speech I jumble my words too and it drives my educated husband nuts. He will correct me till I get it right. Writing is another form. I use spell checkers and edit my posts many times as my brain may not see what I am typing till I step back and check it a few minutes later.
Dyslexia is such a broad term we use because the other terms aren't really known well by others.
What might work for me may not work for others. You just keep trying different techniques and find what works best.
