Allow my blood to be taken.

Funnily enough: I am a paramedic with special training in phlebotomy, worked in anaesthesia and did roughly 10.000 blood draws and iV lines in my life.

I am still having a hard time if someone else draws blood from me - I got accustomed to it due to chronic diseases that required a lot of blood being drawn. But: I can without any problem draw my own blood. It’s a bit complicated with only one arm,but I can do that.

(And if you want to put a needle anywhere else beside a vein and a intramuscular vaccination and I need full sedation)

I used to be unable to jump, but then I did Morris dancing. I learned how to jump normally at 27.

What happened when you tried to jump? I can’t picture this.

I second the curiosity. What would it look like? Sudden crouching? Paralyzing indecision?

I could spring from my ankles, but getting my knees involved made me mess up the timing and I got no lift.

Associates faces with names easily.

Like I’ll remember who you are, but I won’t remember your name. Got me into trouble a few times

Edit: also forgot, but this includes associating the names of places. Combined with the fact that I can’trememberr paths and situate places I see IRL on a map, I get lost often.

Prosopagnosia is the name of the cognitive disorder you likely have.

Whistle.

Tell right from left without thinking about it.

Read a map, unless it’s oriented the way I am facing. My mind will not flip it.

ay you probably have right-left confusion and many people suffer from it!

Is the worst because nobody believes you that it’s your brain they just think you’re dumb and can’t remember left from right and tell you to make an L and stuff.

I always imagine a (local) car, and remember which side the driver sits on

yeah it’s weird the issue isn’t that I can’t deduce right from left. Is more that when queried the brain will immediately and confidently return the wrong answer.

It’s like knowing the difference between a carrot and a cucumber but if someone holds one up and asks you what it is you will confidently answer incorrectly half the time.

So you have to remember that even though you think you know the difference you actually half to take a second to make sure you have the right vegetable. Despite there being zero unsurety about it. Is madness and you sound like a loon describing it is half the problem.

They sit on different sides in different countries though… You are lost on another country
