So when when I get to the end of the math problem if the answer is 23,917 then I'm back to relating to just one number. That answer might get switched around to 23,719, but I'll be able to say "23,917" to whomever is asking me to solve for x.

Any dyslexic typos you may see are simply my thoughts racing faster than my fingers can type. (Which explains the whole dog/god typo I keep doing. In real life, I never dyslexicize the two words.)

If it's only with numbers, you probably have dyscalcula rather than dyslexia.

Strangely, I seem to exhibit signs of both dyslexia and hyperlexia, though only mild in both cases.
