People with dyslexia see letters backwards
A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Most people think that dyslexia causes people to reverse letters and numbers and see words backwards. But reversals happen as a normal part of development, and are seen in many kids until first or second grade. The main problem in dyslexia is trouble recognizing phonemes (pronounced: FO-neems).

Detailed explanation-2: -People with auditory dyslexia may also hear sounds in a reversed or jumbled up order. A classic example of this is hearing ‘pasghetti’ instead of ‘spaghetti’.

Detailed explanation-3: -Common mistakes when reading and spelling are mixing up b’s and d’s, or similar looking words such as ‘was’ and ‘saw’, ‘how’ and ‘who’. Letters and numbers can be written back-to-front or upside down. The most common numbers for visual dyslexics to reverse are 9, 5 and 7.

Detailed explanation-4: -Dyslexia people often fail to see the words or letters in their original form, instead, they see them inverted, half, backward, mixed up, jumbled, moving, and blur. The reason is that their brain is unable to perceive the real form of the words which in turn leads to optical illusions.
