    Messy handwriting and letter reversals without reading difficulties can be dysgraphia, which can exist on its own. The process of generating written output can break down at many different points, and in some people that breakdown happens at the motor output step.

    This reminds me a lot of my son, who is now almost 10. Sorry don't have a lot to add to what others have said since I am realatively new to all of this. It just really struck me then I read that.
