I had wondered before if the dyslexia was somehow related (in terms of brain processing) to your stated difficulties with driving, with "confusing right and left", which I think to most people, myself included, is something that makes no sense. How could one not get the difference between left and right?

I honestly don't see any difference between the two. I used to wear a watch to remind me which was which. Now, it's I'm right handed. But it doesn't work when someone is facing me, because my brain assumes that their right is my right. Nor does it work when I can't use that trick - for directions. The two words are literally meaningless to my brain - it doesn't compute right and left as anything other than metaphors. I tend to think metaphorically not literally.
