I’m Confused And Need Advice (will delete this later because it’s embarrassing for me idk why)
Okay, so, I keep seeing people say they have difficulty seeing numbers, but for my entire life I have been unable to perceive numbers or do any basic calculations in my head. I have strategies to get around it like finding an easy number and then adding the difference back on (usually I’m off by a number or two). I MUST have a calculator to even get close to passing a math test, otherwise I’ll fail at basic things.
I have limited knowledge about dyscalculia but I really need to know if I’m just stupid or if it’s something I can get help for (especially since I’m in Year 12).
Can anyone help me understand?
If it helps my twin sister has dyslexia that screws with her ability to understand and perceive words, but it doesn’t jump around or anything. Very similar to me but with math.
