I have dyscalculia
How did you find out?
Sorry to hear that. Although like Dann, how did you find this out?

Goddamn, they're slapping fancy medical terms onto everything these days.
You don't have "dyscalculia", you just fail at math.

not quite. do you go up to kids with dyslexia and say "you fail at reading"? man, either you have asperger's syndrome (which is also not BS) or your social skills just really suck.. which is it? you seem to be very angry at everybody for no reason. you came to this forum with a huge attitude problem and so far have been allowed to stay. what is your problem exactly?

I have that too to an extent. I'm terrible at adding up cards in blackjack, but I'm fine with calculus and statistics. I didn't realize that there's a condition. Maybe I should look into this more.
is there treatment, lilith?

Do what I did, and get a GPS unit for your car. I love it. I never get lost in Dallas anymore. I just type in "grocery store" or an address and it sends me there via an efficient route.

Oh wow, I remember when you were telling me about your cashier woes years ago at the pharmacy you used to work at. Guess this explains it. You're still <3 though so don't worry, you skank. :3

Yeah, but there's a difference between ACTUAL problems and stuff that was pulled out of somebody's arse.
And I don't have a problem, I just don't like bullshit.
It's obviously not something that was pulled out of somebody's ass because as Lilith said she's not bad at complex math it's just some kind of block with the simpler things. Did you even look at the wikipedia article?

Just because you don't have a problem doesn't mean the problem doesn't exist. Fucking duh.
