I’m not even dyslexic but remembering which direction a letter goes in just on its own is lowkey so hard. I’d never mess it up in normal writing but ask me what direction the letter L or R goes in, and I’ll have to think for an embarrassing amount of time. Or even worse, lower case D and lower case B. I do actually mess those up if I think too hard about them. Oh and I get N confused sometimes too, but that’s just because technically Russian is my native language and the Cyrillic alphabet is all kinds of fucked up.
My daughter is learning to write and gets about half her numbers backwards. After I’ve corrected her on a 2, a 3, and a 7, I’ll look at a six and genuinely not know which way it’s supposed to face.
