    That’s interesting. Since they were born deaf and can’t speak Dutch, do they act like they’re memorizing words as if they were hieroglyphs?

      Not sure. I know one of them fairly well, and he has the tendency to swap letters around. So can we go watch a fun movie on a VDV, and he could also copy a DC for me… Those particular words being finger spelled.

        I think a specialist would be interested. I don’t know enough about dyslexia to make a sound guess as to whether this is more like hearing-people dyslexia or character amnesia.

        Character amnesia (forgetting how to write Chinese characters, often ones you can recognize without trouble) for me shows up as forgetting components or slightly misremembering them, as if I couldn’t quite remember whether it was “CD” or “CP” or “CO”, or if it was a “DVD” or a “DVV”.

          Well, he does have the right letters. Just the order might be random sometimes. 😅 I agree, it would be an interesting case.
