I am in my mid thirties and I am constantly miss reading sentence,
words, email etc.   It is very frustration, and can be embarrassing
when it is at work.    I work in the mechanical engineering field.
I've read up on dyslexia and I don't think I have it, but I don't have
some kind of reading issue.    I don't see letters backwards.    I am
a very slow reader and don't like to read out loud.   My comprehension
and spelling is poor.    I very often will miss words, or totally miss
read a word.    I can do complex calculus equations, but often make
basic arithmetic errors.

I also, miss understand what people say in social situations.    I
remember in high school, often miss understanding the teachers
instructions.    I looked up dyslexia in wikapedia, and one that sound
a bit like me, was the "Auditory Processing Disorder "  But it not
just auditory, but also with silent reading.   Is there a website that
can help me narrow down, what type of reading disorder I have?    I
imagine if I am really serious about diagnosing, I would have to see
some kind of professional for this issue. In high school I had 70-80%
grades, but I really had to work hard.   English class was the hardest
(60-70% grades).

Is there much that can be done for adults with reading disorder?
Thanks.



From wikipedia:
Persons with Auditory Processing Disorder often:

    * have trouble paying attention to and remembering information
presented orally; they cope better with visually acquired information
    * may have trouble paying attention and remembering information
when information is simultaneously presented in multiple modalities
    * have problems carrying out multi-step directions given orally;
need to hear only one direction at a time
    * appear to have poor listening skills, and need people to speak
slowly
    * need more time to process information.
    * develop a dislike for locations with background noise such as
bar, clubs or other social locations
    * prefer written communication (e.g. text chat)
