Stephen Waterman

Thanks, interesting to have a name for my life experiences.  I think you might be underestimating the number of people with it.  I sat in several hundred IEP's for children (special education meetings) and recognized many whose struggles in school -particularly with spelling and memorizing sight words - were similar to my own struggles.   It affects my ability to draw a mental picture from a written description of eg. a room when reading a book, and my ability to recognize individuals in movies if say two of the characters are even remotely similar in looks.
