Hi everyone, I have a question. I regularly have severe moments of reversing concepts... an example is I'll be driving and someone will ask which way I'm turning and I'll say "right" and then turn left (the direction I meant to say). Or they'll say "right" and I'll veer left automatically. I am in college and I've had trouble on exams when I mix up information esp mirroring opposites or directions like north/south or in/out. Is it some form of dyslexia, or is dyslexia only specific to mixing up letters and numbers? I am having trouble finding answers on the internet and I don't know if I should seek a diagnosis.

Oh, definitely! I am directional impaired. People have to point or I will turn the wrong way. I just tell them I am directionally impaired. Not really a bad thing you get to meet so many people and see new sites.

When I had jury duty for two days, I got lost three times. I only found the correct directions one time and the others? Well I made it on time and the cops did not stop me for driving the wrong way on a one-way street.

Got to laugh sometimes. Reduces the stress.
