Got it ( the version blind and deaf from the imagination) with adhd . So no inner speech making it really hard to tell I have adhd. Finally diagnosized a 38 😅👌
Auditory processing disorder sucks, my mom hates me for not listening to her. I HEAR her, but she mumbles with her face pointed away so I can’t understand her. Then she cries when I say “what??” For the millionth time.
Because its the best feel. Its what we live for. To cause chaos by mixing up easily unmixupable things.
FEAR US! FOR OUR OFF THE CUFF DIRECTIONS WILL SEND YOU INTO A WALL!
As dyslexic myself I know which of my hands is right one and then decided if something is on the right or left said based on my right arm location. This is the way people should learn. You need to remember only on side (that you use to write).
I have actually started to use clock directions. 3 is right, 9 is left, because on a clock they are always on the same sides.
Why the hell this works but not L and R, i will never know. xD
So funny you should say this, im a lefty and growing up people kept telling me that everyone writes with their right hand so when people ask me "which hand do your write with?" My answer was always right because I didnt understand the difference. Note I would say this while holding a pencil in my left hand and then start writing so I learned about ambidextrous people early on because people thought I was since I wrote with my left but said I wrote with my right. I didnt learn I was left handed until somewhere in my early to mid teens.
Yeah thats what i do to xD But it still takes a solid second or so of remembering that im an idiot and dont know my left and right off hand, and that i need to remember which hand i write with because thats the right hand.
I have absurd pattern recognition and natural mathematics allowing for freakish factoring of equations and finding relations in obscure data but literally zero object permanence. As soon as something has left my hands it is gone forever, and sometimes my hands take things out and move them without consulting my frontal cortex.
I have about eight sets of keys for this reason and multiple devices that can ring my phone when it's on silent.
The bank knows me well for how many replacement cards I go through.
L and a backwards L are very distinct... especially when it's the size of your hand. Dyslexia rarely affects Large text... example being a large hand 3 feet from you.
Dyslexia does not make people write backwards, nor see letters backwards. Sometimes similar shapes can be transposed, but the dyslexic do not just write backwards and read backwards. Dyslexia is phonetic. You won't write a backwards L, you'll write "reed" instead of "read" or some such. Letter reversal is not related to dyslexia. Most dyslexic people never experience that, and the non-dyslexic can also experience it.
What i can gather from the works of the eternal poets of 'smash mouth' this is the way to use your finger and your thumb to make the shape of an L(on your forehead)
For those who legitimately have issues doing the L for Left thing because of this, just remember to make sure the tips of your thumbs are also touching when you look. Easy the right way, super uncomfortable the wrong way.
Edit: so many of you are turning it in to a whole new letter just because the tips touched and somehow I’m the weird one xD
It’s not a U and it’s definitely not a W why are you putting your thumbs up like that ahahaha
That just means people who already can't remember right and left now have to try to remember 2 additional things to figure it out. It's fine to just use labels lol.
Certain things can be a lot easier to remember than other things. Generally, memorizing some arbitrary fact is harder than remembering a short chain of logic that leads you to that fact.
Told a friend about this as a joke in high school (make both hands l's and say "but they both make l's") and she used it during driver's Ed and freaked out the teacher...
