Difficulty with Sensory Processing

does anyone else have a hard time comprehending things like money, temperature, and time? like im constantly not understanding how much money is too much to spend or it's this temperature, is that cold? or is that in the middle, I can't tell. I would need to go outside to make sure. I am often having trouble with what time to leave for appointments and stuff so I always get up way too early so I won't be late.

Better to be too early than too late🙂

Yes, actually. Especially money, for some reason my brain just can’t comprehend the idea of amounts and things like that? Like when my parents and I owe each other money I would get confused when we were doing the exchange. I’d always get concerned the amount were wrong and they were taking too much from me. It’s probably because I’m an extremely visual learner and needed to see the amounts written out on paper to understand 😅

It took me a while but I got the hang of it eventually! It's more common than you might think :)

I just started having problems reading sentences, I'll have to read it 2 or 3 times for it to make sense

I have trouble reading books and telling the difference between left and right. I always use my hand to make an L to tell me which way is left but even that for some reason is hard for me to understand
