as a psych major i can tell you that dyslexia is NOT simply the reversal of letters etc. this is a common misconception.
dyslexia is a reading disorder. and often involves difficulties in decoding various words.
dygraphia on the other hand is a writing disorder. with this people have problem writing fully formed words and within a defined space. the writing of someone with dysgraphia often times seems incoherent.

sorry if i sounded like a know-it-all i just wanted to help cure a common misconception
Okay that makes sense.. Dysgraphia is what I have
