I truly believe that my lack of sense of direction is a form of dyslexia. I'm not saying it is the conventional dyslexia, but there is something in the way our brain processes certain information.
I don't think any of us are asking for government aid, we are just saying we have to use different methods to arrive at the conclusion. Learning is just that: training your brain to think in a way that circumvents inadequacies in your own personal information processing.
It took me 4 days to figure out where my parking space was and how to get to it. Once I made a turn on a one way street and was going the wrong way, it was a lost cause. I finally just parked in paid parking so I could be on time for work. I don't enjoy getting lost...I just don't process direction.
My book is going to be called No Connection to Direction (thought of this years ago) and is not just about not knowing left from right, but the lifelong struggle for my raison d'etre.
