I wondered if anyone has problems with describing colours that they see, or imagine in their mind? For example, I was making tea for a family member recently, and said to them "do you want the green and red cup?" - but the cup was green and yellow! The thing is, I know the cups we have are green and yellow, as we've had them many years - it's just that when I described it, I mis-named the yellow as red. This has happened many times over the years, and I'm always surprised and immediately say "why did I call that colour something else?"
I'm wondering if it's linked to a far greater problem, that of following verbal instruction, which has caused countless problems in the past, especially in employment. I'm waiting for my assessment for an ASC after being referred, and the communication problems are something that I'll be asking them about, due to their impact on my life.
I'm not unduly concerned about the colour mis-naming, as it doesn't happen daily or weekly, but just randomly, and with no pattern to it. Obviously there would be some jobs in which mis-naming a colour could have far greater impact, though as I'm unemployed at the moment, this is not currently a concern.
I'd be interested if anyone else has experieced this...........
