I found this site helpful, in understanding what you were talking about, never thought about different types of dyslexia, though I know mine is different in some ways.

Test years ago showed low audio and visual short term memory, but a very high IQ. They never tested or told me I had dyslexia, but I figured that out myself after I was an adult. It has gotten worse it seems after my tour in the military and now later in life.

I am also right handed, but ambidextrous, this also sets the brain up for some funny wiring. I am have cross dominances. I am left eyed, left footed, but right handed. That alone sets the brain up for confusion and a battle.

I mind turns letters around and almost reverses words and invert sentences. It is harder to read of late, worse then when I was young. I find it hard to read for very long and hard to catch all of the words. My mind skips words when I read, but more so when I hear others talk, and don't even know it, unless things don't make sense. I always remember the headlines in the paper years ago, Gorilla attacks the Philippines, at second and third look, now I knew it said instead Gloria attacks the Philippines, not a Gorilla.

It seem worse for audio then visual reading. When people tell me things, my mind is like a sieve, it only depends on how bad at the time.

I often get confused about right and left, when someone tell me something, but not usually a problem when I think and need to do internally.

I have a hard time trusting what I see, even when I see it. I spend a lot of time double and triple checking until my mind is satisfied it like OCD, and maybe OCD, but at the same time it is different too. I can look both way before puling out across a road or intersection, to a do it repeated times to see I am safe to do so. I can see ok, and I see everything, but my brain just does not trust what I see I guess.

I mainly use my right hand, but use my left a lot too. I can do somethings nearly equally with both, and some are specific pretty much for one or the other.

You talk about turning the wrong burner on, on the stove, constantly doing that, drives me crazy and have do some damage to our pots, pans and lids.

I have learned a lot of checks and balances to keep from making so many mistakes.

Filling out forms can be a nightmare.

I read some times ago, that what can happen in some cases, that the nerve signal does not flow in a constant rate, and it flows at different speeds or something like that, at the same time. So gaps happen and you brain makes a local guess.

I had a heck of a time in the military, when marching and etc, when your left and right had to be on cue automatically. I often got called out by the Sargent for missing a turn step or being out of step with everyone else.

If I can think about it, I am fairly ok, but the greater the need for speed or stress, or being more tired it, exacerbates its it.

I do remember grade school. used to raise my hand, knowing the answer, but when I gave it ,I was wrong. But when someone else raised their hand and said what I said, they were right. So what I was thinking, was not coming out verbally the same. I learned to fear, and doubt myself, and learned to not come forward or volunteer for things.

Well like following some instruction to a math problem. And the math problem is in English. I always seem to misunderstand what the question is asking. I think its because I see more than one way that the question is pertinent. You see they leave the questions ambiguous.

Or take a 3D image of a device, you know where things go and it doesn't matter which way is up, right, left, front, rear, or down. Its relative.

Or you look at a car from a front corner and you know exactly where the wheel you can't see is.
