Mild compared to you, in my case but not diagnosed until my thirties and is why I failed academically to get into higher education. It results in poor spelling (saved by word processors) primarily difficulty in linking sounds to letters. Most significantly it prevented me writing with any confidence until the word processor came along. The word processor (microsoft word) allowed me to flow but then go back and sort the incomprehensible mess out fairly easily. General I over compensate to avoid misunderstanding by over describing and unnecessary detail. It seems to get worse at stressful times, but surprisingly I get more of a flow going with words when I'm tired.
