Tested as >180 visual intelligence, I know.

Though that I've pressed the backspace key over 20 times writing that^ line... yuh, dyslexic.

I mean the chances of every dumb person in the world not having dyslexia are pretty slim, but yeah, it's not a cause-and-effect thing.

Explaining I’m actually not rushing that’s really the number I’m reading and I’m seeing it wrong seems to be something people who don’t experience this cannot understand. You see the number, you read the number, you know the number! If only it were so easy! Thankfully my brain doesn’t do it for letters, only numbers
