Sorry - this is a bit OT and I have nothing of value for the OP, but I did want to say thank you to aculady. I have been thinking of myself as a visual spatial learner when in fact almost all my 'symptoms' are those marked as potential learning difficulties. I will follow this up further as dd is showing similar signs to me. I might PM you when I have chance to get your feedback on the kinds of LDs they relate to. Thanks again!
