Thread Name: BS: Left/Right confusion
Subject: Left/Right confusion
Reading the thread on dyslexia made me wonder if anyone else out there in Mudcat land has the problem of mixing up left and right. I don't mean occasionally, I mean all the time. Serious confusion. I even went the wrong way in my driving test. When driving people have to say this way and that way to me or I go wrong. The really difficult bit is I'm a caller for ceilidhs and I havn't a clue which way people are going to go if I say circle right!!! If I get it wrong I have to pretend I've made a mistake. Is this a form of dyslexia ? Is it a problem because I am fairly ambidextrous ? Why don't I have any problem of switching driving to the other side of the road when I go abroad. Any sympathisers ? Any explanations?
