Apparently, I'm neurodivergent - since I have a grab bag of a lot of these:
For those who can't see it? It breaks down visual and audio coordination issues into categories:
1. Dyscalculia - Difficulty with visual/spatial coordination, counting, doing numbers in sequence or sequencing (example? Unable to count by sevens), difficulty working word problems...
2. Dyslexia - difficulty reading aloud, mis-pronouncing words (often substituting words or finding another word), difficulty reading aloud, problems retrieving words, difficulty with writing or spelling, slow and labor intensive reading
3. Dysgraphia - symptoms include cramped/sore hand, poor spatial planning of sentences and margins, frequent erasing, inconsistent letter and word spacing, poor spelling and missing words and letters
4. Dyspraxia
Symptoms include: difference in speech, perception problems, poor hand-eye coordination, poor balance and posture, clumsiness, fatigue.
Better late than never, I guess? But I wish this information was more accessible and prevalent in the 20th Century and early 00s? Along with the advocacy.

I guess they figured "good students" would grow out of it, like athletically, I grew from being a terrible batter in soft ball to a pretty good one. If I'm not very careful I still have trouble with word and letter spacing, which the teachers called poor hand-eye coordination.
And yes, if you have one of these four, the symptoms may seem like they belong in one or more of the other three.

Or audio-visual coordination. I wasn't given these words for it, and no one else knew about it either in the schools that I attended.
