Sense of direction

[LostAndConfusedYetAgain]

Name changed for this.

I have posted under neuro diverse mumsnetters, but there is not much traffic there.

I have always had an appalling sense of direction.

Yesterday this was reinforced to me yet again, as a 7 min journey took me about 40 mins. I arrived hot and stressed and frazzled and hating myself for this happening yet again.

I’m not diagnosed as neuro divergent, that would have been very unlikely when I was younger, but many people have said in more recent times that I may be Asperger’s and/or adhd.

Is an appalling sense of direction a regular thing amongst the neurodivergent of this world?

Grateful for any opinions / insight.
Thank you!

IANBU - this is a recognised characteristic of neurodiversity

IABU - What? / F&@k off / Don’t know

Not voting as neither of them apply.

But plenty of us have no sense of direction, across the population, not only amongst people with an ND diagnosis. Equally, people with a diagnosis aren't necessarily people lacking a sense of direction.

There have been quite a few threads on here about people not being able to either 'sense' or remember how to get places.

I just use the maps app on my phone
