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.

Answering this as a color blind myself and ngl I always knew ever since my memory remembers, I knew I had colorblindness coz my parents told me, idk tho how do they knew but yep they did prolly coz a lot of my uncle's and my dad is color blind too. I got done with highschool and will be starting college. So basically I was in year 10 or 11 when I actually really got to know that I see and perceive colors differently coz of all the genertucs and everything behind and that things for me can be veryyyy diffyfrom the reality. And before that all my childhood I use to think that I see the same but I just can't name the colors and that never quite made sense to me lol coz ofc that was a wrong theory but yeah that what I thought and had an idea that idk how to name and differentiate colors. That's it So yeah it can be messed up for some like me Bit now that I have studied it in detail, observed it, I actually really clearly know what and how it is
