 My wife has a possibly milder form of this. She very regularly mixes up numbers and there is about even odds if she goes to pay for a parking space in the machine she will mix around numbers and pay for 4553 instead of 4535. The biggest problem is she has basically no conception of left and right, and all of the attempts to get her to make an 'L' with her left hand to figure out which way is left backfire because both hands make Ls. I've never seen her write an L character backwards, so obviously there is some connection that works differently when you trigger the spatial reasoning part, and she claims she has zero problems with traditional word dyslexia which I can believe because she was a professional writing editor for years and that would probably have come up.
