I got a master degree in maths with A grade, but i still cannot divide and subtract numbers in memory, I still have problems with 7+2 and 9-3, or 8*7. shrug. I think what saved me was that my parents were not good at maths so they did not get too involved in my homework, so I could do it my way.

it was missed in me as well when I was a teen & seeing counselors but I was also homeschooled and grew up in a big family on a farm.

Hi... I am diagnosed ADHD. In highschool and college I was good with algebre. However I failed many time in Calculus. Could this Dyscalula be a factor?

I don’t think I hear learning disabled people being referred to as neurodivergent - I don’t think of myself this way or identify this way - and don’t except others saying this.
