Do you still do the "L" thing with your hands to check left and right? (lemmy.world)

I often do it even though I usually already know before doing it. It just feels like a habit/sanity check.

If you do this you should seriously get checked for dyslexia

[–] darthelmet@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

I’d say that I’d think I’d know if I had dyslexia, but I had a friend in college who didn’t find out until after he was in college. It’s hard to understand how that’s possible. He just said his school sucked and they thought he was just dumb when he had trouble reading. Somehow got into a top school though, so I guess he found a way to work around it or something.

That said, I don’t think I’ve really had a problem with reading. My best class was history and most of that was reading tons and tons of textbooks.
