Is this a form of dyslexia?!
Question: Is this a form of dyslexia.?
I know that dyslexia is problems with reading, but I have a slightly different problem with language.
I tend to read and not comprehend. BUT I can comprehend if I make myself slow down and re-read sentences where I lost my train of thought. I do remember best when I write down, cross-reference, and mark up what I am reading with notes and markers. If I just plain read something I tend to lose the information immediately (I mean within a second). But if I am even doing something like merely holding a pen in my hand, I will remember it easier. I can read an email from someone, and respond back asking questions about what I was just asked. It takes me alot of concentration and slowing down (often re-reading parts) to remember what I read.
also when I talk, I often use wrong words. I once thought my daughter was being ornery because she would not take the hair out of her mouth while eating. I was not happy with her. It turned out that instead of saying 'get your hair out of your mouth', I said 'get your food out of your mouth'. I said this about 8 times, not knowing what I said. I do this frequently.
I do well in university (I make notes, cross-reference, and mark up my books like crazy) and love to read books, and communicate well. But these hang-ups don't seem to want to leave. I am wondering if this is some form of dyslexia.? Because I try SO very very hard to concentrate more, slow down, pay attention. But I just don't remember what I read unless I make special efforts and my words get mixed up.

Health Question & Answer
Answers:
Dyslexia is a learning disability that manifests primarily as a difficulty with written language, particularly with reading and spelling. It is separate and distinct from reading difficulties resulting from other causes, such as a non-neurological deficiency with vision or hearing, or from poor or inadequate reading instruction.[1] Evidence also suggests that dyslexia results from differences in how the brain processes written and/or spoken language. Although dyslexia is thought to be the result of a neurological difference, it is not an intellectual disability. Dyslexia has been diagnosed in people of all levels of intelligence.[2]
