I just discovered I lack spatial awareness. My husband just mentioned it yesterday casually and I just googled it today and I have every single sign except difficulty reading and writing.
It’s just amazing that things like these have been researched so much and understood and even have names. I’m not diagnosed yet but it’s one of the signs of ASD, sometimes I feel so normal then I see stuff like this that makes me feel more and more that I may be autistic.
I sit down on my husband so many times and he complains a lot, I sit on anything, phone, laptop, food. I don’t understand reversing when driving, I have difficulty using the mirrors and judging when I’ll hit the car next to me. When traveling, I get lost at least twice.
When walking with my map I get lost so many times. I stub my toes a lot. When I eat and I may have to change clothes after. I’m a health worker and setting up an IV line into a vein is very difficult because I just don’t understand how to get the needle into a vein, I see the vein but actually getting the needle into the vein is very scary, I hate it. I don’t understand it.
sigh…
