I have mild dyscalculia, but ive always been fine with words. Reading was always my strongest asset in school. I suck at math though.

I was wondering how big a detriment mild dyslexia is. I know a “NEET of 8 years” who basically won’t try at anything because of this. I kind of feel like its an excuse to be lazy, but I can’t say for sure.

    I have mild dyslexia. It makes reading take a lot longer (about 100 pages in 3 hours), and it makes telling left vs. right a bit of a chore (1-2 seconds of additional cognitive load), but other than that, it’s been okay. I don’t know if that lines up with what other people call “mild dyslexia” though. I’m judging myself based on other cases I’ve read about/heard.
