Visual Spacial Learner
I came across an article tonight that really explains the way I was a child and what I am like now. Nearly everything in this article describes me. Facinating stuff, the touch, light sensativity, smell and sound is very much me. here
When I was a child when people would touch me I would freak out. Even now it's bad. If someone comes up behind me and pokes me I freak out (and have know to hit people as a gut reaction). People always comment on how touch senstative I am.
I also remember at primary school when my friends would play with my hair in class (you know girls plating hair and what not). I would hate it, I would be so sensative to it, that I would tell them to stop. At times I would question if something sinister happened to me as a child (I don't think it has).I also hate anyting popping, like balloons, champane corks etc. I know a lot of people have this problem, but I'm sure mines more dramatic. I completly avoid these things like the plague. I remember at one of my old jobs, my workmates did up my workstation with balloons and streamers. Then as a joke, someone came up behind me a pop a balloon behind my back - I went ballastic.
Sound is also another big thing for me. If people are fidgeting, munching on their meal, or even just turing a page in a book or newspaper - I get so annoyed. It really shits me and I have to move away and I always point out sounds that no one else here's.
Light sensativity is another big thing for me. My optometrist pointed out to me not long ago that I am very light sensative. That's why I get migraines so often. Fluro lights, computers can set me off. My eyelids also burn if I don't wear sunglasses whilst it is sunny.
The way the article explains how Visual Spacial Learners learn explains me to a tee. I'm very visual, diagrams, pictures, photographs I absorb so well - words, and spoken language not so well. I'm always doodling and when I would be in a lecture all my note pages ended up having visual doodles in them.
I don't think I was a gifted child though ;)
