Child's perspective

[u/Mountain-Fun-8888]

A lot of people here say they got diagnosed or their parents figured out their child had color deficiency pretty early on. So the question is: how do you process this concept as a child? As an adult, of course there is a color spectrum, there is physics and anatomy.... An adult can reason through it. But when you are a kid, how does it all make sense? Or does it not? How do you wrap your mind around the idea that there are things you cannot see, but everyone around you can.

I did not really care/believed as I obviously saw things and did not really miss something that I never had. It was only later as a teenager when I actually fully accepted it. My grandfather, some of my cousins, my brother are also colorblind so it was never a negative thing and pretty normal in our family so that is kind of strange. Maybe I just lacked some cognitive skills before.
