of the auditory version of dyslexia.

Tell me please?

If you know Latin, and dyslexia is a Latin word, you could break dyslexia down into it's individual Latin words. Then, translate it, and find some suitable candidates for it to be the auditory version, and then replace what makes dyslexia physical with the auditory replacement(s). Do you follow?

Or you could look it up on Wikipedia, it might have a link to what you're looking for from the dyslexia page.

Are you talking about Central Auditory Processing Disorder? I don't know that that is supposed to be auditory "dyslexia" however. I have always considered it difficulty in understanding what others are saying; slower processing time; inability to filter out background noises. I might be attributing too much to CAPD however also.

I dont know the name but I know I sometimes say the wrong word for what I had intended.It only happens when stressed or .....anytime with a few words.It appears that my brain has stored....garbage and laundry in the same place....as well as dishwasher and washing machine....I often say the wrong word when using these terms...it is embarrassing and confusing....have no idea why this happens.I also have some problems with auditory processing but I think this is different.

The auditory word for dyslexia... Are we talking expressive or receptive?

not sure what it's called but the one that just kills me (sometimes it's funny, sometimes embarassing) is when, en-route from my ear to my brain, a sentence gets words replaced. Happens all the time... "Hey, while you're out, can you pick me up a pan of Coke, please?" is, as it turns out, '...can you pick me up a pack of smokes, please', and so on. I'd swear that at one point a friends grandmother asked me to take her into the attic and do her from behind and let me tell you, that's not something I ever want to think about ag... and I just did. Crap.
Anyhow... not sure what that's called but it drives me batty. Not making it up or trying to be funny for no real reason (just occurred that y'might think I was making light of the thread, so..)

When human speech turns to gobbledygook in my mind, I’ve always called it “aural dyslexia.”

yeah, CAPD. Thanks. I laughed at the grandma story too. I also mishear stuff, but not like that. What I usually hear is whatever is on my mind recently.. so you must have a sick mind.. do you smoke?

The non-clinical word for reversal of sounds between words in a sentence is a "spoonerism".
For instance: "Mardon me pam, may I sew you to a sheet ?" instead of "Pardon me ma'am, may I show you to a seat ?" My father told me he accidentally said that once, when he was a kid.
I sometimes get words mixed up as I say them, because I'm thinking several words at once & they collide. I'm not dyslexic, though.

I do something similar. If i am writing, say, "with water" i might write "wiw ater" and drop the last few letters of the former word. I just had an insight, and its a syllable that I drop, so it would be related to sound rather than a dysgraphia or dyslexia.

I do have dysgraphia... but not dyslexia. As a kid, my spelling tests were always in the 95-100 percentile range.

I'm not sure!
