Every time I read symptoms of adult autism, it confirms for me I’m not autistic, but you could use this same picture for me if you substitute the word “Dyslexia” for “Autism”.

Here, for some of you I’ll go ahead and ruin your day:

“Signs of dyslexia vary by age, but they generally involve difficulties with accurate and fluent word recognition, spelling, and language processing.”

Adult symptoms:

• Slow reading pace: Taking an unusually long time to finish reading assignments or reports.
• Verbal vs. written gap: Strong spoken communication skills contrasted with disorganized or labor-intensive writing.
• Word-finding issues: Frequently searching for everyday words or relying on filler words and general terms.
• Organizational hurdles: Difficulty managing multiple deadlines, taking notes, or summarizing spoken information during meetings
