No, for me (messages scrolling off to the left) doesn't happen as I never learned to type without watching the keyboard - I don't watch the screen. And when I write, it's always a flow from mental talking. I mentally say the words as I type, kind of like carrying on a one-sided conversation. It does mean I have to go back & correct juxtapositioned letters frequently. I do that a lot when I type, like ohme instead of home & bllod instead of blood.
I always thought that ADD people probably have terrible coordination but I guess that's not always the case. I know 2 guys (brothers) who seem very ADD, they think so too, but they're terrific at sports, very athletic. For them, it's what keeps them awake & alert.
You wrote "noticed how disheveled they are (people must think I'm dyslexic)." It never even occured to me. I just read the message. Don't be too hard on yourself. I thought because your messages come in in a narrower format that you were just using a different program. Could you not type your messages in Notepad or Word & the copy & paste? More trouble though.
I notice with stims that my coordination came together perfectly too. I could still move in my hyperfast mode but I wasn't bumping into things like before - very fast & relatively graceful even!
