Why am I so terrible at following directions/instructions?

It's so frustrating. I'm a Sr in college and am a very strong writer, but my constant misinterpretation of directions/inability to follow them correctly always results in my "A" papers becoming "Bs" or even worse.

It's not just school either. When I read, I get confused and have trouble comprehending/processing the material, and when I buy my son a new toy that requires assembling, the directions are like a foreign language or I some how mix them up and go a step ahead.

I get equally confused with driving directions that I'm nervous to go somewhere by myself if I have to rely on map quest or some other type of directions.

I suffer from fibromyalgia, but poor memory and difficulty following directions have plagued me my whole life.

What the heck is wrong with me and how can I change this frustrating behavior???
