I really, really struggle reading scales on a measuring jug or in a measuring spoon. I just can’t gauge if it’s on the level or under/over it because my spatial awareness and depth perception is awful. As a result I screw things up.

Any ideas? Are there better ones I could buy?

    I’ve never cared too much about above/below on the line, I rarely find it matters too much. Swapping tablespoons for teaspoons will matter, but a little over/under won’t.

    Maybe just get a good set of nesting measuring cups so you can always fill to the right size cup?

    I have a set of these that I like, but I have no idea how they’ll go for you:

      I think it’s in combo with the other dyspraxia errors I do, it all ads up to too many mistakes. Difficulty with cups is I just can’t keep track of the amount I’ve put in so I’m best all in one.

        That makes sense, hopefully the scales suggestion pans out. I’d look for one with a big range of weights (up to 5-10kg), and physical buttons instead of touch. I have touch buttons and they suck. They trigger if a metal bowl gets close, and dont work well when I do try use them.
