I was born with dyslexia, and had very little or no effect on my education. But as I got older, I started to notice that I started a mixup p's, Q's, and 9. And then it got worse, where letters and numbers started to squirrel on the page like they're going down a drain or toilet. And at this point, they are invisible, is it their so blurry my eyes can't even recognize anything on a page anymore.

And my attention span for words on a book or page, have pretty much become non existent. If its on a sticky note, I may have enough attention span to be able to read it, and understand it. But, if it is a page or longer, I may not be able to understand or comprehend anything I just read. Unfortunately, I don't have the retention to understand anything I read anymore or even understand any words on anything other than a screen, probably due to the constant refresh rate, and my eyes noticing it. I haven't picked up a book in over a decade, because I just can't see or read the words. It's like picking up a blank Journal that doesn't have lines in it. It's just empty pages you're supposed to write into. I had to resort to only watching movies if I want any reference material to what the book is, or I have to read audio books, which people told me don't count as reading, because you're not actually seeing the words, which I usually can't see anyways. I have been to vision doctors and my regular doctor, and they've said it's not my vision, it's my brain. And I've been on multiple types of medication, and it does nothing for me.

I just guessed the world of written word is just something I can't access anymore. And I just had to learn to live with it, because it's my brain doing it, not me as in something physically I can change. I'm just glad to see there's someone talking about this, and the fact I had to use speech to text to write this, is awful. And I'm pretty sure there's gramical errors in here, that I'm not going to notice until someone points them out later.
