dysfungirl,

Welcome to NeuroTalk. Sorry to hear you are having struggles.

I definitely understand your motor problems. I have similar issues. There is a part of the brain that compensates for reversing tasks like when you look in a mirror.

I work a lot on cars. I struggle to reverse the 'righty-tighty/lefty-loosy' rule for a bolt I may be working in a reverse condition. I also struggle when looking at the back of an object and understanding the position of an object that starts in the front.

This inability to flip images is very frustrating. It is commonly associated with other multi-tasking difficulties and visual memory dysfunction. Personally, I have very poor visual memory, in the bottom 5% of the population.

Do you have any problems with visual imaging in your mind?

I wish I had a solution for you. Some on this forum have had success with vision therapy. It is controversial but for some it has been worthwhile. Sometimes, a neuro-ophthalmologist can direct the therapy.

Maybe others with experience with vision therapy will post.

My best to you.
