Answers:
Yes it is possible my brother is dyslexic and you dont talk backwards that is a common fallacy.Dyslexia is a condition which causes difficulty with reading and writing, which literally means "difficulty with the lexicon" in Greek.
It is not restricted to childhood but can continue throughout a persons life.
Problems can include a persons difficulty with reading and writing, poor short-term memory for sequences, (e.g. numbers and math), and a "confused" use of their hands (for example ambidextrous people often show signs of Dyslexia). In addition, occasionally males will show a slower development of language skills in the early part of their lives. Dyslexias include the inability to name letters, to read words or sentences, or to recognize words directly even though they can be sounded out. Dyslexia is not limited to reversing the order of letters in reading or writing, as is often implied in popular culture; it may, for instance, include unexpected spelling mistakes (including phonetic spelling in English) and unusual syntax, and may be associated with dyscalculia.
Dyslexics may have Irlen Syndrome - simply explained - the glare of the white page against black letters causes the words to shake, shiver, spin, etc. after a few minutes of reading. The treatment is testing and the use of colored plastic overlays that help anchor the words to the page.
Spelling - Dyslexics appear to be unable to hear vowel sounds. ex. Magic is spelled mjc.
Reading - Due to dyslexics' excellent long term memory, young students tend to memorize beginning readers, but are unable to read individual words or phrases.

i don't think having problems with typing is a sign of dyslexia. it's some thing that you would have had your whole life, it doesn't just pop up. as your doctor just in case but i don't think you do.
Sure you can be dyslexic.. there's no age limit for that unfortunately. Maybe your doctor knows what steps to take.. Nothing to do with dyslexic..just u are more cautious.its okay..nothing abnormal.

It is possible. Speak to your GP ; he/she should be able to offer some avenues to turn to for help. Good luck.
P.S. ..many people use spell check, to be sure they are spelling new words correctly.. me too.
