dyslexia?

So I made spelling mistakes while working in the last couple of days and that made me seriously wonder if I have dyslexia. I've been wondering for a while, but considering how far I got in life, I always simply thought I just worry too much. However, today I searched about dyslexia and even took an online test. The result? That I likely show indication of dyslexia.


Looking at the symptoms, I do think I have some of them; difficulty of telling right from left, have long term memory of experiences, locations, faces, but not on information or fact that I don't experience. I don't like reading. I find it very torturing. I most definitely don't read long books and I also hate math. I dislike counting or tables of numbers. I would stare at them for a long time without wanting/knowing how to start to work on them. I do better in arts. I'm easily distracted by sounds, even the tiniest noises wake me up.


Anyway, other dyslexia symptoms doesn't seem to fit me. I don't like reading, but I like writing (blogs, lol). I love maps and I don't find them confusing (except if they're really really bad maps, lol). I don't have significant spelling problems and my handwriting is just fine. I even learn and use languages other than my mother language on daily basis.

But again, a website on dyslexia said "Most dyslexics will exhibit about 10 of the following traits and behaviors. These characteristics can vary from day-to-day or minute-to-minute. The most consistent thing about dyslexics is their inconsistency." And yeah, I have about 10 of those behaviors.

If I do have dyslexia, do I need treatment? I made it this far in life without problems.
