Hello @Happy900
Thank you for telling us about Dyscalculia :)
@SnailPurple Your very welcomed,my friend.
@Happy900 It makes it hard to keep the checkbook balanced - thats for sure
@mytwistedsoul Thanks for sharing your stuggle with your learning disability.
Your not a lone,my friend.
A lot of us who have problems in math,have other struggles as well.
That does not mean, we are not good in other areas of learning,because we can learn and do will in other areas,it might take us, a bit longer to learn. But we can learn.
@Happy900 hi thanks for telling us this. I might have cuz not good with maths but can add up and take away with fingers
@TreaureSeekers3 I am so glad you liked the information,that I shared.
I would recommend that you get tested for learning disabilities.
That is the only way for sure,to know if you have a math disability, or if you have more then just one learning difficulty.
Because a learning disability covers a wide range of problems.
@Happy900 thanks but why ask to get tested? You think I have. That's a knock of confidence :( I thought about that but I don't know. I was diagnosed with disability at school but said was mild learning disabilities so don't know if that exists. It was ages ago. Don't know. The counselling for CBT I had said when discussing issues that thought how I see and experience works and not feeling wanted and why people way they are said to get checked for autism and put me on list but since then I haven't heard nothing. It was last year. Don't know if should chase that up. I'm waiting on other support too like work counselling
@TreaureSeekers3 You miss read what I said.
The reason to be tested is to know for sure,if you have a learning disability or not.
Sorry if you miss read what I wrote.
It is not a blow to your confidence.
It is so you get the right help. Hugs.
@Happy900 no I know what you said and I understand. It's better to get checked then worry but I would need to contact them. I'm still getting support in evenings but I'm waiting back on another support service and I need to return letter to be a member in group
@TreaureSeekers3
Hi. I was recently diagnosed with dyslexia and dyscalculia and am also awaiting an assessment for Autism. I was doing brilliantly until a few years ago when they brought in hourly rates and an accuracy rating. Since then things have gone down hill, so, I know where you are coming rom.
@TreaureSeekers3
You should chase that up, I am in the same positionas you, awaiting an Autism assessment, I also have Dyslexia and Dyscalculia,
@Happy900 I can't use a till. I don't know if I have it or not but I've always struggled with maths. Don't like it. Not good
@TreaureSeekers3 I can relate to your math problems,math is hard for a lot of us, with learning disabilities.
@Happy900 thank you. Ok
Hey, thanks for this post. Ive been struggling with maths and numbers my whole life (both in school and in real life) and just recently discovered what dyscalculia is, and I believe I might have it :c.
I was raised in a draconian household and school where academic achievement is viewed as a moral virtue, so the fact that I simply, really cant handle maths is almost always punished. When in truth, what I truly need is guidance and support..
Thank you for spreading awareness! I feel so validated.
@Hydrangea03 Your so welcome.
@Happy900. I am so glad i found this post i have a form of dyscalculia i had it all my life i got tested at 17 so 9 years ago and it made a lot of sense why i struggled with math so much but i got the right help in college and was able to graduate in 2019 with the right math tutor.
@sallyanne1994568 I am so glad you were able to find the post and read it. I hope it was helpful and that you found it educational,as well.
