The link I shared has a lot of good information about this condition; it’s similar to dyslexia but for math. In school math was always my worst subject and it often took me multiple tries to pass my math classes. It baffled everyone around me because I was good at all my other subjects. I hadn’t heard of it until last year but it definitely explains why I’m so bad with numbers. I’m now wondering if anyone here on lemmy has it too.

This is definitely making me go hmm. I am diagnosed with dyslexia (and so many other things), but I struggle so much with math. Weird part is it should have been picked up with testing, then again uh my very obvious autism and ADHD was missed so who knows.

Reading others comments here too helps since I really do struggle with math it feels like trying to juggle. I can do fine with a few, but some concepts just take out everything. It's to the point where I'm a computer science major, and I dropped down to a Bachelor's of Arts because I'm trying to avoid math as much as possible (I'm planning on doing web work so less heavy math)

Thank you for this post, maybe this was the last push I needed to see and go research more
