Symptoms:
Consistently misjudges the size of everyday objects (a 6-inch sandwich might be guessed as 12 inches, or vice versa).
Doesn’t know the bear at the zoo is big
Has trouble estimating people’s height — everyone looks either taller or shorter than they actually are.
Can’t eyeball measurements — struggles with things like “how many feet away” or “how many inches long.”
Needs to rely on comparison (like holding their hand up or asking for a reference) instead of instinct.
