Murray, As I child I had the same problem with mirror writing. I started on the right side of the paper and wrote to the left. I am left handed also. I could read it just fine, and for the life of me I couldn't understand why anyone had a problem reading it. Liked to drove my teacher crazy. Finally my Daddy told me the teacher had a problem reading it, so could I please write so the teacher could read it??? No Problem!!!!! I can still read backwords almost a fast as I'm able to read forwards, and I still have problems transposing numbers, not words. I have always blamed it on being left handed, not dyslexia, a word unheard of when I started to school in 1937. I am the only one in my family who is left handed and also the only one with PD!!! It does make one wonder doesn't it?
