Do you know anything about the neuroscience behind this phenomenon? You having problem with spatial thinking/distances and numbers suggest that these two things rely on the same mechanisms in the brain, right?

It reminds me of how kids are usually thought numbers and addition/subtraction on a number line first.

Can you elaborate on how you mix up left and right? I can't really imagine what it's like. Do you look on the right side and mistakenly think it's the left? What happens, if someone asks you to raise your right hand?
