I have dysgraphia which is like dyslexia but happens when I am writing. I read well. But when I write and then look at what I just wrote it is all mixed up. So careful editing is super important and garbage still gets through. People think I can’t spell. 😜🤖

I once tutored a student with dysgraphia.

I don’t think they had a diagnosis for it when I was in school. They just kept saying, you read really well. Why can’t you spell or write or do penmanship? Learning to type was a game changer.

So you can "write" when you type? In my case, the student had disabilities but we weren't allowed to ask them about it, and neither he nor anyone else told me. So the first assignment I gave him was a writing one. When he came back, he told me he had dysgraphia. 🤦🏻‍♀️

I mix things up less when I type. And years of learning coping mechanisms help. 2 English degrees later, most people I work with don’t know. And I don’t tell them. Finding out what the problem was was the biggest help. Learning I had a different tool set than most people helped me find ways to work.
