1. Acquired Dysgraphia.

I was born with it. It’s on the language spectrum. Hand writing, spelling and reading.

6. Spellcheck is my friend.

Also, the rule is: i before e, except after c, or when pronounced like a, as in neighbor or weigh. There are several other exceptions in that rule, but I only know it thus far.
