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.
I deal with this and its a pain, like if I’m not using my fingers to keep track when doing simple maths or having a calculator to aide me, then it becomes a bigger slog than it ought to be ughhhhhh
