#or the turn lane etc some sort of visual anchor for me

things that made me ask a psychiatrist if i might be dyslexic, despite the fact that i know i have dyscalculia, and have never had trouble reading or writing:
a LOT of the time, left and right are the same thing.
so are up and down
0 and 1 are the same number.
so are 2 and 4
also any 2-digit number is itself backwards (ie I will type 3284347 instead of 3284437 about a dozen times in a row, without being able to see what im doing wrong, until im frustrated to the point of tears)
any instance of 0-1-0 pr ABA type pattern will also flip in my head. so i might type 1-0-1, or BAB and not be able to see the issue, at all, no matter how many times i look at it, until i go through and say each number out loud.
all units of measurement are the same and i cant conceptualize them. (i have no idea how to even explain this)
'Campus' and 'canvas' are the same word, but only when spoken. this applies to a LOT of other words that have the same vowel sounds
this was more recent but ive been driving almost every day for over a year and reversing is still almost impossibly difficult. see: left and right are the same thing. *
i also cant tell which lane a car is in behind me if im merging or turning (are they in my lane? or the one next to the sidewalk? if the car is moving i literally cant tell)*
#BLOGGING LOUDLY#dyslexia#dyscalculia#the merging thing might also be because i cannot fucking see and have no depth perception in my left eye#so looking over my shoulder is essentially a big blind spot#but also i can see like. i KNOW which lane is closest to like the sidewalk#or the turn lane etc some sort of visual anchor for me#but my brain will still flip it backwards so it REALLY LOOKS LIKE theyre in a different lane. but theyre not#also tried to keeo the numbers stuff to a minimum but this doesnt even really touch on what dyscalculia does this is more like just#brain works backwards or changes how i see things and she said that is essentially what dyslexia does its just#usually with written words and reading#and if you never had an issue with that you would like. not know if you had dyslexia bc it wouldnt interfere with other stuff as noticeably#well it is sure fuckin noticeable as an adult
