Hi cate; You need to be tested in order to find out what the difficulty is. There isn’t anyone on YA who can diagnose your problem. I hope you get this looked at soon because it must be enormously frustrating for you. If you’re old enough to come on YA and ask for help, you can certainly ask for help through a school counsellor and ask to be tested. Best of luck. P.S. I know what that’s like. I was diagnosed as retarded in elementary school because I had a lot of problems in my home. I’ve had my I.Q. tested as an adult and I have an high I.Q. Hang in there.

It depends. Are you hurrying when you make these mistakes or taking your time? If this is the only symptom you have, then it is probably more to do with rushing to write something down, especially since your mistakes make sense phonetically. You could be tested but it sounds so minor that you should be able to compensate for it– we all have areas of weakness we have to compensate for! (That’s why spell check was invented.) However, if you have other difficulties you could be tested for a processing disorder. If it turns out you have one then you can learn strategies for how to be successful and compensate for your special needs.
