An intrepid programmer had a friend with dyslexia and thought they could recreate their description of what it’s like using JavaScript.

The picture doesn’t really do it justice, as the live site actually mimics the sensation of letters jumping around. And if that’s really what it’s like, I can see why reading and writing would be a nightmare. I mean, I don’t even have dyslexia and I already find it difficult to read anything more advanced than Highlights. And by “read” I mean look at the Spot the Difference section.
