I too have a terrible time understanding drawings and pictures tactile. I have been blind since birth, but a lot of sighted people have the same problem. I am also orientation impaired. If I am familiar with my surroundings I do just fine, but ask me where certain place is located in my city and ask me to tell you how to get there and I am totally lost unless I walk there. Again, however, many, many sighted people are "wrong way peach fuzzes". I think, though that definitely people have become way too picture conscious. If there is not a picture, they just do not know what to do. Many people will not read a book without pictures. Now, didn't I fit that nicely into a book list? (LOLOL) Reggie and Lonnie
