Anyone on this board have experience with having a reading disability but being extremely good at mathematics?

Most days I feel borderline dyslexic. Every time I see large amounts of text with long words, it begins to feel like they're out of order. I have to keep re-reading over and over again to get a basic idea of what the text means. Writing is even worse. I flat our forget how to spell basic words and are constantly mixing up nouns with no pattern (this post took me a long time to write).

But I'm insanely good at math. I'm going into my fourth year of Applied Mathematics and I haven't struggled once. Equations, numbers, symbolic logic, proofing...it all feels so damn natural when I look at it. Yet I can't pass intro english or history classes. I've gone my whole degree so far avoiding them. It is fucking depressing and embarassing. Professors refuse to believe I have a problem with reading because of how high my math grades are.

Anyone else experience something like this?
