I recently learned i got dyscaculia
After more carefull check of my childhood diagnoses and recent ones too, ive learnt that my "specific learning difficulties" actually mean i got: dyscaculia, dysgraphia and dyslexia..
Ive had difficulties in all of those, and its clear from childhood too, though i never thought i was actually experiencing those disorders so it was kind of shock when i learnt it.
Anyways theres one thing i want to share with how my dyscaculia presents, and while i think its obvious, in some stuff it appears almost paradoxical. I can definitely relate to all symptoms of dyscaculia, well more in childhood and especially counting on fingers which i did till 15 years of age. I would consistently mix symbols and numbers due to their similiarities, forget to do a step and such, getting lower grades or spending significantly more time on problems i had to do than i should have. Now in adulthood i got pretty much really good mental math compared to my peers, i at least belive so. I got pretty good at maths quickly when i got adhd meds too, despite still having most of the other symptoms except the finger counting. I felt great but then i stopped actively doing math and boom, i am terrible at it again (its insane not going to lie). I wonder if this is something you guys relate to also?
Either way, i belived my ADHD was main culprit to my struggles and now it makes more sense. Thats all from me, just wanted to share, i dunno if this looks bit silly or something. Just bit of yap yk:D.
