i have a nagging feeling that i suffer from a similar disability, though not as bad as that of the author. i have to mapquest everything. once i'm inside a building, i have no idea where everything on the outside has gone--which way is the street, which way the alley. GPS has rescued me from myself, in many ways. but it still gets old to hear friends and family make fun of me, and act incredulous about my constant state of disorientation. yay for the author for being so bold as to write about her challenges.
