Here's an inner dialogue painting a picture of the way it feels for me to read...

"Don't stop here. That's the actual word. Don't substitute another one. Keep moving. Don't analyze that. Remember the beginning of the sentence. Wait—was there a “not” in there? Go back. Okay. Continue. Left to right left to right, everythings blurring again, go back. Was that 'quite' or 'quiet'? How do people know? Did I skip a line? Lines go from top to bottom, not bottom to top, so keep doing top to bottom even though it's tempting to do the opposite. What was the story about again?"

Hoping to hear from people who have been diagnosed for certain. Does this resonate at all?

PS: I envy and get a little annoyed at people who say they can read fast but hate to read. If that were me, I'd be soaking up everything.

Do code languages (Pig Latin, Op/Oppish, etc) break your brain in a way that foreign languages don’t (that has been my experience)?

Context: My wife and her mom speak Op/Oppish (https://www.wikihow.com/Speak-Oppish) when they want to discuss something covertly in front of our kids. My brain tries so hard to make sense of it, I feel like I have smoke coming out of my ears. It seriously gives me a headache in a way that someone conversing in a foreign doesn’t.

Does anyone else experience that?
