Do you do things backwards?

no. I have never read or written backwards. I think it would be very hard to write backwards. but in the past I did read the newspaper last page first then front page last. I stopped doing that though.

Isn't that dyslexia? I've never had the problem, I can imagine it being hard to learn doing it forwards if you had that problem. I remember when my 2 oldest girls were younger, they'd write everything in a "mirror image". They outgrew it by the time they got 1/2 way through kindergarten. Not sure if that's normal for kids or not though.

The one thing that I remember doing backwards was I wore a polo shirt backwards to work one time. LOL Boy, that was very embarrassing and only one student noticed it and told me before everyone else came in so I caught a break. LOL I will not forget that one. I also may write a list of things to do and will do them in the reverse order instead of following the order I had written down.

i can talk backwards. i olso write backwards. it is not that hard. it depends of you and olso a lot of practice.

Well i dont write backwards but i do have the habit of reading a magazine or newapaper backwards. I have heard most of geminians have that habit. Are you also gemini. I am just so curious to start from last page of a magazine or a newspaper.

I read and write backwards. I also write backwards in cursive, not just reversing the order of the letters, but actually writing the letters backwards. I read upside down too. Usually I start with the last page of a magazine or newpaper and read to the front. It all comes quite easily to me and I don't consider it a problem. I think it has something to do with being a left handed person in a right handed world.

I donot think so i think that things are moving forward but not necessarily for betterment in each field

So Margieanne, when you were taught to read as a child in school, was this an issue, was it noticed by your teachers, just how were you able to manage. I hope you don't mind the questions, but because I can only read in a forward fashion and the learning structure is set up to teach children in the forward fashion, how did you manage to learn how to read at all...SS

I dont read or write backwords but sometimes I reverse my numbers or letters. It can be a pain at time.

I don't struggle with this but my husband is dyslexic and it is very difficult for him especially when there are numbers involved, he gets so frustrated and upset. Sometimes for me its just painful to be around him when he transposes figures and/or letters, because then he gets really critical of himself. I admire both of you, how amazing you are to have the tenacity and perseverance to overcome such a handicap, I'm sure it takes plenty of hard work and effort to overcome. More power to you, keep overcoming and happy posting:)

I erad nad irwte cabawkdras. This type of backwards is much interesting to me.:) One my friend can talk this without problems.:) He always makes that's sound so funny and also hard understandable by others..

I have tried doing this before but its really hard. I stopped doing and just tried writing using my two hands at the same time. No luck, cant do it too.

initially writing may be a little difficult but i think we can manage with reading backwards.I tried out .No too difficult.We can manage.
