Can Dyslexia be chemically induced?


Hi, I am a 23 year old male with ADHD. I currently take Adderall for this, on and off for the past 2 years. I have noticed over the past couple months (since I started again), that words will often appear different to me. If I am reading, I will see a completely different word than what it really is, until I go back to it and can see the real word. Is this some sort of dyslexia? Or just mild hallucinations due to the Adderall. I would think just hallucinations, however it only seems to affect letters, numbers, and words. By the way, I only take about 40 mg a day. Thanks!

No, dyslexia is a thought pattern/process that begins in infancy. The dyslexic person is a visual thinker rather than an audio thinker, meaning when a dyslexic person reads the word dog, he/she sees a dog in his/her head. When a non-dyslexic person reads the word dog, he/she hears the word dog in his/her head. Once you have conformed to either visual or audio thinking and your brain grows, the other abitity dies. It isn't something that can be chemically induced because the part of your brain that would have been able to accomplish dislexic thought shrivelled up before you spoke your first word.

it is not possible as dyslexia is not a disease or a sickness. its just a terminology to describe learning differences. and it can be overcome using techniques but not chemically. :)
