Mixing Up Words and Numbers

Post Reply New Topic

I have the problem of reversing the sounds of words and numbers, in the following way:

If something read: "I like to eat apples and celery" I would say aloud: "I like to eat sapples and kellery." (phonetic demonstration)


If it reads 92 I will say 29. This usually happens too fast for me to catch it, but I always do end up correcting myself. Does anyone here relate to this? If so, what is it?

Lots of people here will be able to relate, including myself. I do it on a daily basis. It seems to be one of the common AS traits.

Always.

i also start to stutter when reading aloud, so i refrain from doing it as much as possible. does anyone have this as well? i thought it was some kind of neurological disorder, but an mri scan revealed no lesions or abnormalities.

who else has mild speech problems?

Yes.
Word retrieval problems.
My brain reaches for a word and misses, but gets something that is semantically or sonically similar, or gets bits of the sentence out of order.

I have a trouble with tenses. Many times i confuse past and future tenses, the reason children were laughing at me. I also say the opposite words i wanted to say, invert the numbers. I was left handed and i understood that there is a conection between left handedness and dyslexia. We are a little bit counterclockwise.

I used to switch numbers round a LOT when I was younger (causing me to do poorly in some maths tests despite having been in the top 260 16-18 year olds in the UK for mathematics). Howeever now I am very vigilant so I don't make mistakes as often.

I also confuse the tenses, but not as frequently as the beginning letters of words. I have trouble when math is taught with rules and application. I need to see beyond that to "get" it.

For example, I want to see the visual representation of v=1/3 b h
