Dyscalculia
You’ve heard of Dyslexia, where you mix up words. But did you know about Dyscalculia, where you mess up numbers and math? According to a study in Auckland University, 6 percent of the population suffer from it. So if you’re bad at math, there may be a perfectly logical and explainable reason for it besides being “bad at math”.
This may be a relief to people like Tiggerprr who suffers from being bad at math. She hates numbers so much. She can’t even play Sudoku. That’s horrible! I love me a good game of Sudoku once in a while. But she hates it because it has to do with numbers. She has no issue counting, she just can’t handle numbers. I think she definitely has Dyscalculia. seriously.
Do you suffer from Dyscalculia?
