Up to a certain age, the S/b/d/p/q issue is considered normal. I certainly did it through early elementary school, and since I have ADHD, I've been screened for dyslexia enough times to be fairly confident I don't have it. All 4 of my kids still did this at the end of first grade, with only one to go on to be diagnosed with dyslexia.

I think flipping and mirroring letters is just using our ability to see that the shapes are the same. You have to do some unlearning in a way, or rather recognizing that rotating a shape changes its meaning.
