I can read it, but it's harder that usual. (But maybe the fact that English is not my first language is of some importance, I could read the Dutch text easily when I first saw it.)

I could read it very easily too,( but don't remember what it said very well)!
I wonder whether Japanese or Chinese would react differently. Interesting.

I've seen thius before, and for some bizarre reason I can read these scrambled texts more easily in French than in English, though my English is much better than my French. I haven't seen one in my native language.

I find that besides being able to read the text, that it has an interesting subject matter. My son, who has been diagnosed with AS could not learn to read using phonics (which of course is the only way reading is taught nowadays) but instead learned to read by using the Rosetta Stone program designed to teach English in which complete words are displayed, pronounced and associated with a picture. However, he is also dyslexic, but I wonder if that might not even be an advantage in decoding such as this.

what if I not only could read it without the slightest hesitation, but recognized that your mixed up letters were in a different order than is usual for when i come across this message?

Easier for me too, but harder to compose

My Irlen filters really help the line skipping and dancing text, not to mention seeing a larger slice of the world around me.
Yes I have actually! Thank you for making the suggestion, the irlen tests/lenses have been invaluable to me (both in enabling me to read/see more clearly and through showing me that there was a problem at all, as before I had the tests done I had no idea that I was experiencing things differently from other people). I'm glad to read that they have benefited someone else here.
