Do you think i have dyslexia?

Ok i just read the following:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dyslexia

and i am wondering if i might have dyslexia, i have the following:

-when typing and writing i commonly (very commoly) use p/b when the other should go there, but notice it instantly and fix it?

-I am a terrible at spelling

-i think i have ADD

just hit your head with a shovel and you will be just fine

Can you read fine? Dyslexia is commonly misdiagnosed. A real person with dislexia would see the following sentence as follows:

I have a cat

I v A caT

It's strange because the letters are not in a straight line to a person with dyslexia, it could just be an honest mistake because the mind reads words as a whole not individual letters so it is very possible that your brain messes up sometimes.

You should probably see a doctor if you're really worried about this, rather than asking Yahoo!answers.

Well, people with dyslexia usually don't see the difference between top and pot. You could have ADD, but that doesn't mean that you necessarily have dyslexia. I used to be AWFUL with writing, but I didn't have dyslexia. You still might have it, but I think it's a distant possiblity for you. If you are worried about your spelling, READ! Yes, sometimes reading is boring, but it has completely transformed my spelling and vocabuary. Some books that I would recommend that I at least didn't find boring are (Although they are big...but addictive for anybody): The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd, Silverwing Sunwing and Firewing (three different books, but really good!) by Kenneth Oppel, Harry Potter series (don't want to list them all, but just google Harry Potter and you should find the list) by JK Rowling, and So B. It by Sarah Weeks
There doesn't appear to be enough symptoms for you to have dyslexia, but I'm not an expert. If you're truly worried about it, talk to one of your parents or another trusted adult.
