8. My sister and I have mild dyslexia.

It has to do with directionality issues.

My brain reverses direction, so you can
imagine all the extra walking and driving
I've done over the years.

It doesn't affect my reading at all, nor
cursive writing.

However, when printing, I will reverse
the b and the d occasionally.

Que sera sera.
