I keep typing words with the letters out of order. Like I spelled "Chat" - "Caht" this morning. I do it all the time. I guess it can't really be Dyslexia because I don't see word like that when I read. Maybe I'm just a lousy typist.

Nope, sorry fella, but you can't blame that on dyslexia (it is something you are born with not developed later in life) What you are talking about is a common occurrence for many people when typing. I think it has a name but I don't recall what it is. (probably because I'm having a blonde moment myself)
I have always tended to transpose letters when I type and never thought much of it. I'm pretty sure that's not dyslexia, it's just a breakdown (temporary or momentary!) of--to put it rather simply--a kind of brain-finger coordination (it's called "serial order" by neurologists).
Lately, however--and I am now in my 70s--I tend to misread things. For example, just today I misread the date "31" as "13," and then the word "suing" as "using," and that concerns me much more. I started to experience this kind of misreading a few years ago. Having a second look at the number or word a moment later, it then appears correctly to me. It's this phenomenon that is causing me a bit of concern and has motivated me to look online for some answers.
yeah that might be it.
I have dyslexia but i hardly ever mistype lol.
The best way is to get tested. I have learning disabilities so now you know why i failed college. lol
btw, you might just be noticing it now because your mind is slowing down in later life and it can't compensate as well for your mistakes.
HHHHMMMMNNN is that dyslexia, or your mind is just getting ahead of your typing, or is that what happens when your hands get really cold. Well I am glad for the back space key.
Your brain is operating in overdrive and your fingers cannot keep up. Dyslexia later in life? Nah, it presents in may ways, you would have noticed difficulties earlier on.
Visual perceptual problems, what your eyes see & your brain interprets as seeing ?
If you do think that you have these problems, then an optician could help you by prescribing you with colour tinted lenses in glasses. I know this as my daughter used to wear red tinted lenses, she used to call them her " rats ". These lenses helped her so much.
There are a few different colour combinations, go see your optician & ask his/her opinion.
Good Luck.X :-)
When you do things like that later in life, it's not called Dyslexia, it's called getting old!!!!
I od exactly teh same thing. I guess I shoul;d have taken typing 101 when it was offered?
Problem is thinking you don't need to look at the keyboard.

I think you are just a lousy typist today. Nothing to worry about.
It is possible I guess and it would probably be due to aging or some kind of trauma or even a degenerative disease.
