Anybody have any experiences, maybe seizure related, causing them to have trouble reading words or see letters scrambled? I'm wondering if this is a variation of having difficulty understanding speech which happened to me once.
Lately I've had some strange experiences similar to being dyslexic. Today I was assessing a student (on this occasion I was assessing for dyslexia, ironically), and I showed her a list of words saying, here is a list of nonsense words (which is what they looked like to me). I have two pages and thought this was the page of made up words, which was what it looked like. As she was reading them, about 30 seconds into watching her read, it was like the words changed and I could decipher them. Very strange experience. It was only temporary which makes me wonder if it was a seizure.
There've been a couple of other instances where the words on road signs have looked like something else and when I've looked again I can read it properly. I'm not sure if this is part of a visual type hallucination. I have temporal lobe epilepsy.
