I’m by no means unable to read or comprehend text, I’m smart enough for life and people often compliment my intellect. Big tickets on myself I know.

However when it comes to reading anything it often takes me twice as long, just a meme with text or anything.

If I don’t concentrate on it I miss words or like an Ai hallucination I put random words into the sentence or muddle them around making things often hilarious for myself until I re read the text to get the actual meaning.

    Can relate. I’m seen as “smart”, but I do frequently get comments about how I read slowly. I don’t know what’s up with that.

      Yeah it’s never been an issue for me but bothers people when they hand me a phone or something and say look at this.

      Then get weird because I have their phone to long and assume I’m up to no good

        I have their phone to long

        FYI, it’s “too” long. Not trying to be a grammar nazi, but that’s the second time you’ve used the same wrong word. You say you like reading, so I’m just spreading the knowledge…
