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.
Oh yeah. I was terrible at math, until I got to calculus. Stuff like calculus and math proofs I really enjoy.
But I will never be able to do 6 * 7 in my head. Addition over 10 is really hard for me.
