[senco-forum] can't 'read' info in diagram form

Hope someone has experience of this. The very bright daughter of a

I also find diagrams impossible to read.  I have to get someone to  
translate them into words,  then I can understand and learn them.   
This has its limitations.  Perhaps your friend's daughter can get  
access to 3-D models,  preferably solid but otherwise computer- 
based.  I find pictures, especially photographs or moving images,  
easier than diagrams.
I am also "face-blind."  When I meet new people,  I try hard to  
memorise their features but when I try to recall them,  only  words  
come back.  This is not much help as "dark hair,  big nose"  can fit  
a lot of people!
