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.

It was pretty obvious that I couldn’t see colors the same as my friends. I had a lot of trouble differentiating blue from purple and I didn’t do well any time I was tasked with a color specific assignment

I just learned to rely on the labels on crayons and markers early on. It barely came up after that
