Actually Dyscalculic - Tumblr Posts
Any other dyscalculiac people feel like there’s just a hole in their head when they try to maths? It’s a void up there I swear. Like I’m trying to text without wifi. Like it just feels like there is a hole there, I know there isn’t actually but I don’t know how else to explain the feeling
PEOPLE CAN PICTURE NUMBERS IN THEIR HEAD??? THATS A THING???
It's so hard explaining Dyscalculia (which is like dyslexia for numbers and math) to people because they always just kind of assume I'm just really slow at it, not trying or am stupid
When in reality, I literally cannot visualize numbers in my head. Mental math is impossible because I just can't picture numbers and quantities accurately up there. My mind just goes blank - a monk would cry at how clear my head is when I'm attempting algebra
But people still assume I'm just slow so they're like "What's two times 5" and I just have to sit there like

And not give them an answer because fuck if I know dude
