@Angelastic: Didn’t know anyone had defined this (OLP) but know about synaeshesia. (I see geometric shapes with most chord changes in music and many words have specific textures) The OLP started when I was very young – maybe about 3. When my sisters first showed me playing cards. The numbers and shapes of the hearts, diamonds, etc. were fascinating to me and I started to associate the personalities with the numbers at that time. Interesting that you and your Dad share this as well.
Calendars, as well: I see the days of the week backward on a calendar in large 3-dimensional, column-shaped blocks with Monday (largest block) at the end (right side) and Sunday at the beginning on the left followed by Saturday, Friday, etc. Makes it very hard to plan ahead as it all goes backward.
Yes, it is all very distracting . . .
