Yes, and they provide a problem for dyslexics too (who have to be
taught how to get past their dyslexia.) However there are few scripts
with characters that have the same form for the base "point of
articulation"  as yours does. The latin script doesn't have the same
form for p, b, m, w, nor for t, d, n, l, r. That's what i'm talking
about.

Of course it should. Which is why I'd make your script far less
baroque, simplify it down, and make the various letters as different
in form from each other as you can (this doesn't mean destroy shape
unity. You don't want a mix of runic looking characters with arabic
looking ones with hiragana looking characters)
