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.

      I answered above, but I do read a lot faster than I talk, and faster than I can listen for sure. Will read transcripts instead of watching videos because it’s faster, listening is too slow and speeding up the video does not work the same way for me at all.

      This is correct, for me at least.

      I don’t read the text out loud in my head. I can, but I’m able to understand and comprehend the intonation and text without “performing” it.
