I have quite severe dyslexia and can very much empathize with everything you wrote above, sounds like me word for word. My advice would be to try not to overthink it, I spent a long time beating myself up about those things and trying to get better at them, but in reality the best I could do was try my best. Otherwise: Slow down (I know it's hard) and just focus on the stuff you're really good at and accept the stuff that you're not (I know it's hard). I have a line in my email signature that says I'm dyslexic, so excusing my mistakes would be appreciated, and I always tell people I work with that I'm dyslexic so they can have my back and double check stuff for me. My ideas are usually fantastic, better than most people around me, and my execution is usually very strong, but don't expect correct emails from me (pick up the phone), this can lead people to believe I'm not detail oriented, I am, I get the details right, just the communication part can be difficult. |

I am really great at execution. Details notwithstanding, I am usually the best performing member in my team but my teammates or managers end up correcting (commenting / pointing out) my mistakes which increases their work.
I will try your email signature idea. Thank you again.
