I have this always struggle with math not to mention that I was born premature
Comment from : @ArmandoLuis1318

In college I memorized formulas using songs During a test I’m sure I was the only one singing the quadratic formula to the tune of “Pop! Goes the Weasel” in my head (the video is on YouTube, there are songs for almost every formula) I still squeaked by with a C average for all my math classes, but passing was a miracle

I’m 58 now someone told me about this about 25 years ago and I’m just finding out about it now

I have not so severe symptoms but my mother is a teacher and father no one acknowledged it I was always put in motivated or math resources class for people who struggled with math… I passed my GED I almost area the teacher said I did my algebra backwards which was odd to me I now have an answer to what is wrong with me Thank you for this video The comments make me feel not alone 😢

My father had dyslexia and my parents were relieved when I was an above-average reader However, they failed to realize I have dyscalculia (they didn’t know it was even a term) and I struggled in school I could not read an analog clock, a ruler, I continued to count on my fingers, etc I figured out I have it in my adult life

I've always had issues with math growing up and still do I can't really add or subtract in my mind like most people can unfortunately I also couldn't remember multiplication table either If I was decent at math, I probably would've gone off to college and pursued my dream career in veterinary field
Comment from : @catharsismemory

I think it’s good that we now recognize this a learning disability, however I think some people are bad at math simply because it doesn’t interest them Some people are interested in mathematics, some people are interested in philosophy, some people are interested in geography etc I think what it boils down to is what interests you and math simply isn’t that interesting to a lot of people

I am a special-needs person with Asperger's syndrome (which is a branch of Autism), OCD, and Dyscalulia In elementary school, math was a little easy In middle school, math got hard In high school, math got harder I got like C in my math classes I had to transfer to another class because my math class was too hard To graduate from high school, the students had to pass an English test and math test I passed the English test, but not the math test I had to take it a couple more times and took tutoring I graduated from high school with high honors (I am good at history, zoology, art, and later theology) I took tutoring in a community college to retake the math test again, but I passed it and got my diploma when Michael Jackson died In university, I struggled with math, took tutoring, but failed my math classes I transferred to the same community college before I was expelled for failing math I struggled with math, was discouraged about taking tutoring, got a private room, and got extra time to take my tests, but I failed them I dropped my class before I failed it and did not finish college But I became good at numerology
Comment from : @kevinestrada977

I believe I also suffered from Dyscalculia, with the knowledge that I’ve forgotten Basic Math brbrI’m relieving to know that I’ve NOT the only one brbrI’ve have life, long dream of becoming a Cartoon/Anime Producer with many Crossovers Simply put that I wish to create The Fortnite of Animation But in order to do that I’ve been certain that MATH will be required, but how much, I don’t know, but I hope is merciful enough with someone with Dyscalculia like ME 😭
Comment from : @thedarkknight727

I was on board with everything except the part about enjoying maths… also, it’d be helpful to mention what this is like for adults and what to do as an adult living with this issue
Comment from : @MarinaLaduda

Still struggling with this disorderlam adult now😢 is there any cure 😢
Comment from : @sangeethm1056

Dyscalculia sounds like the name of Dracula`s younger sibling, who has to be very careful not to be hit by a ray of sunlight because they have difficulties with times tables and timetables
Comment from : @MidNight-fw8zq

I learned in my final year of university that I have this The tears 💧, the self esteem hits, the way math always felt like torture I wish there had been help for kids like me
Comment from : @fuzzylumpkinz91

Did this affect the ability to remember numbers in general, or letters? I cannot retain these things out of context I’m taking music theory and my brain just can’t hold the letters in order of a chord… it’s very difficult for me to put them in order, if that makes sense
Comment from : @BipolarSwingDance

I wish my schools knew what dyscalculia was, I'm a kinetic learner so this would of been useful to learn with my senses I'm definitely dyscalculia but gifted so its really odd
Comment from : @mazybee9149

My youngest brother has dyscalculia So does one of my coworkers And historical figures that may have had it include Walter Harper, the first man atop Denali
Comment from : @AtarahDerek

I cant even read a tape measure
Comment from : @Bighomie420

Who among us also struggle with sense of direction? Hand in hand with this disorder I also wonder how many of us were simultaneously early and proficient readers
Comment from : @badmiddens

i wonder how many of us have math-related trauma which we don't really talk about because "math is just hard"
Comment from : @cactusmom8203

I didn’t know I had dyscalculia until college
Comment from : @TheJoedonbakerfan

I'm 22 ADHD and dyscalculia, it lowers my self confidence
Comment from : @jan5504

I reverse digits: 96 for 69 As a math major this was problematic Everyone just said I wasn't paying attention Today I saw the number 4 as a capital A and I was paying attention
Comment from : @douglaswilkinson5700

I can read and comprehend just fine but numbers just sound like cars crashing into each other
Comment from : @bigcitystyles2100

Wow I have always told people I don’t do numbers and I was so miss understood thank you for this video
Comment from : @brendagallimore9041

I’ve literally avoided numbers all my lifebrbrI get total mind fog as soon as I have to deal with thembrbrMy reading is good, my logic abilities good infact most stuff goodbrbrI find it all mind blowing… 🤯brbrThe fear is real …
Comment from : @myrahouse2368

Interesting I have Dyscalculia but I have very high emotional intelligence and I am good with interpersonal tasks I was told I am very good at business negotiation, sales and managing workers It is interesting to see how varied the human mind is
Comment from : @sv6k0a39

I feel like I'm going to die I suffer from attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and dyscalculia, and there is not enough awareness of the subject in the Arab world I'm really suffering
Comment from : @سارا-9س1

I’m 35 and barely learning I have this no wonder I could never understood math 😭😭😭😭 it cost me my diploma
Comment from : @Shewasafairy00

I remember I was really nervous when I got called in front of the class to solve a math problem to the point that I cried a lot On the contrary, literature fascinates me and it became my haven The teachers in that field complimented me for my essays and I find it entertaining when I learn a new language on my own
Comment from : @dazzley

I always loathed math class because I just have to take things slow and recheck my work, and most of math class was always about who could do things the fastest So people who naturally process information were always rewarded, and people who process numbers more slowly - through no fault of their own - were always punished So zooming out, the emphasis in the math classes I was in wasn't really on teaching every kid how to do math, the emphasis really was on punishing the kids who were not lucky enough to understand the concepts quickly To this day, I avoid even thinking about math class in high school for this reason
Comment from : @markthompson180

I defo have some form of it As in school I really struggled with math
Comment from : @Divergence

I came across this term today at 30 years old and suddenly things make a lot more sense Nice to know that every teacher I ever had failed to recognize that something was wrong and instead treated me like I was stupid
Comment from : @jessican6150

I always thought I was dumb when it came to math It gave me issues of self confidence with other subjects although I performed very well brI have been struggling with math all my life but I have been doing well with other subjects especially art subjects brI cannot say for sure if I have dyscalculia but it seems more than true that I may have it brI have issues counting or solving the easiest of math problems It's been like that since childhood
Comment from : @Midstix

If I had to describe Dyscalculia in two words, it would be; onerous, burdensome and complicated
Comment from : @chrisfromsouthaus2735

This explains the angst of my life I’m 47 They did not have tests for this when I was in school🤯
Comment from : @JuliaShalomJordan

Students with Dyscalculia can they get extra time to take a math test?? Without sanctions ?
Comment from : @myviews469

Imagine growing up with discalculia (and not knowing it) and a human calculator for a father I shouldn't have been allowed to graduate high school, I cannot take care of my own finances
Comment from : @RosheenQuynh

Why am I like this ?? 😭😭😭😭💔
Comment from : @anumeovv

Me trying to learn division again at 19brbrIts hard to deal with, its embarrasing, once you know there is a reason for it you can push through,
Comment from : @Zunree1869

My son suffers from this They did not help him, called him stupid and just gave up on him I have struggled to help him through several courses asa n adult he feels shame basically
Comment from : @mn4169

I'm in my first year of culinary school rn and i was surprised at the fact we only have 2 subjects outside of cooking It's Dutch and maths But it isn't even real maths In Dutch we call math wiskunde but what i have is rekenen I know it's so simple but still i can't do it brbrIt really sucks how i from all subjects only have my 2 worst ones, now i seem stupid XX
Comment from : @Molr026

I’m only good at addition subtraction and multiplication and division brApart from that I didn’t understand any topics , be it algebra or equations or geometry
Comment from : @barbariansarchers5415

I wish it was more understood in universities, I had to fail several math classes and ultimately changed my major away from CS because of undiagnosed dyscalculia I did eventually complete my bachelor's but in computer information systems instead as the required maths were much less intense and more scenario based questions around business problems which helped me a ton for some reason Perhaps being able to visualize and consider the problem from a practical real world point of view as opposed to doing hundreds of abstract formula based problems was enough to get me through
Comment from : @derfoh3182

I probably have dyscalculia Or something similar It was a wonder I even passed my math courses lol
Comment from : @PianoDisneygal10

I am an adult now and my familly tried the math games and everything yet nothing worked I still strugle to read a normal clock or to understand things like 18:45 I never really understood fractions and I still passed my high school diploma but I needed alot of help I wish that we could normalize talking about discalculia in adults cause we still have dyscalculia and it sucks to budget and navigate capitalism with it
Comment from : @cancerianbratzdoll

I read numbers backwards sometimes, I can see and understand for example 15, but same 51 instead Not always but sometimes and if I pay attention rarely And also adhd
Comment from : @golden-zc5sh

So glad to hear this for years I felt so dumb and really under valued myself and got bullied for years because of this I'm 32 and now I know AT LASTbrbrMY QUISTION IS HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO LEARN MATH TO BE PROFICIENT ANOUGH IN IT?
Comment from : @Mickymaxywonder

I wish I knew this before I went to uni, it would have saved me a world of heartache brDid a course that has a lot of math, despite me struggling with it for so long, I just thought I needed to apply myself more like my trs had been saying all my life Boy, was I wrong😪
Comment from : @beccaroshi2112

I got diagnosed with this when I was pretty young I was always so embarrassed having to leave the room during math time and go to the “special room” because I couldn’t keep up some children are so cruel to one another
Comment from : @hahahhaha9979

I’m 31 and can’t do my times tables I panic when I see numbers I didn’t learn how to tell the time until I was 14
Comment from : @cosmic-creepers9207

How do you get diagnosed?
Comment from : @leslieyvette8656

I never had a problem with adding and subtracting numbers, my problem is solving equations, and fractions
Comment from : @DaniSmith_95

I actually was a good reader, but I had dyscalculia but wasn't diagnosed till after college
Comment from : @Magnulus76

Along with other diagnosises, I have this diagnosis! IT SUCKS!
Comment from : @peterfslife

I have dyscalculia, but speak 7 languages fluently and can pick up any language i want at ease I can paint and do other art and am great at writing also a very good speller in several languages brBut math Never I cannot
Comment from : @brendamtz258

Earlier this year I got my official diagnosis at almost 18 years old I had struggled my whole life with math and physics classes and now I feel relieved, I can use formulas and a calculator during tests The only thing I'm really sad about is that I will not be able to study what I truly love, astrophysics and astronomy, in university because of my condition,but I guess I will embrace it just keep it as a passion
Comment from : @obiwan-

I became depress when Realize I really am terrible in math Even in basic and simple problems I cannot solve it Even in giving change when buying things I often think that I am truly dumb and I am stupid But still I always say to my self no one is perfect And Just have to be me
Comment from : @glenarthurdollete6106

Do u think being a Dyscalculia tutor is in demand
Comment from : @joflores2267

I got F’s and D’s in math my whole life As an adult I still read numbers backwards and can’t do any basic math in my head Thankfully everyone has a phone now so I can always use a calculator
Comment from : @zephyr3693

Forcing myself to be good at math was so depressing I can't divide numbers
Comment from : @m_justnotleest

I'm in 10th grade and can't do basic division and I don't know the times tables It can be quite draining to have to go through every school day pretending to understand the math lessons lol
Comment from : @user7191Uezs

im not diagnoed yet but it does seem like i have dyscalculia brthe thing is just that im generally very intelligent ( hi, gifted kid here) and especially logic is what im really good at ( yes i did actual intelligence tests)but because of that ican work around my number problems pretty well and seem to be just average in mathbri always feel like i know nothing but if i get things explained in a way that fits me i understand math easily and fast but in school i never get that since i need a long time for the 'easy' things but the supposedly hard part is actually easy to mebrbrits just a pretty isolating experience
Comment from : @aliceimwunderland652

Had so much trouble with math readinh directions got in trouble at school all the tome
Comment from : @dianajunus2316

I noticed how people with dyscalculia have a great connection with art, I’m absolutely horrible at math not only because of not paying attention in online school for an year but because all the things I’ve learned in the past grade I’ve either forgotten or barely remember and I have great connection with art, It makes me feel happy and it’s so soothing, Brings ease to my mind
Comment from : @ronnie2820

Struggled with maths but succeeded in all other subjects at school, my mum and I discovered dyscalculia and tried to see if my teacher could help She told me I wasn’t bad enough I tried again at college but no help, it wasn’t until I got to university that I managed to get the diagnosis I needed That was after I had to take it into my own hands Found out I had dyspraxia too which answered alot of questions toobrbrPeople don’t understand dyscalculia as a whole and think it’s just being bad at maths It’s so much more deep rooted into everyday life than a lot realise I have zero concept of time, measurements, distance or sequences People think if you just practice you’ll get better (I have this argument with my husband regular) I get so much anxiety about having to do mental or quick maths I just shut down or get panicky when I get into a situation that requires the basic level that I can actually do, it just takes me longer to do than most
Comment from : @BetheyDawn12

I got a 32 on the reading and a 16 in math on my HS ACT 😅 nobody believed when I said I was "like dyslexic with numbers or something"
Comment from : @DC-fu2hl

Maybe it’s not the child it’s the school system that’s the problem
Comment from : @bekit7131

my cousins always makes fun of me because of this I'm trying my best to learn math and its hard to learn from myself in this difficult time im having a hard time recalling what I learn and at some point i just don't want to learn math anymore having this sure sucks but, this isn't the reason to give-up on
Comment from : @terano9636

I dont know if I have dyscalculia or not but I can only do like basic math but algebra I just dont get it
Comment from : @renren4910

I remember sweating bullets about being expected to add in my head I need fingers and calculator unless its small numbers
Comment from : @khaleesiy7886

I love reading and have never had an issue with it However, no matter how many times I’ve tried to even remember the absolute basics, I can’t for the life of me remember the times tables or subtraction However, wording used in maths really, REALLY confuses me
Comment from : @viiperbiite

Yes I have this and no one understands when I say I can’t do math at all :( it gives me so much anxiety and I feel so stupid :((((

Comment from : @Shermar

I reverse numbers ALL the time Reading my credit card number out loud is so uncomfortable and embarrassing I’ve found it easier to say it in pairs like 32, 46 instead of 3, 2, 4, 6 individually I have to really concentrate not to reverse numbers I’m saying out loud I’ll also put them in the calculator reversed if I’m not really concentrating Math was hell for me
