Learning Disability - Tumblr Posts

I’m an artist with dysgraphia as well. And I’ve always struggled with things. My style is inconsistent, the things in my head just do not come out in paper no matter what I do, and just overall art can be extremely difficult for me. It’s very hard for me to figure out where the line between my disability and my lack of skill are and it’s incredibly frustrating.

and I’ve always had this worry that I’m just horrible at art even though I know that’s not true and that it shouldn’t even matter!

especially when I’m drawing stuff with writing or some words because it takes so long for me to write legibly and spell everything correctly.

When I say I’m a disabled artist, I don’t mean “oh look I’m an autistic artist who draws their special internets!” I mean “I have dysgraphia and it effects my art and style in a impactful way. I work very hard to work with my dysgraphia but it’s still difficult”

7) languages are hard to learn so the fact you’ve done that is more than so many people (especially American English speakers) can say and also I don’t think I know a single English speaker who speaks “good” English it’s a MESS of a language

8) (this part goes for those who are native (English) speakers too and aren’t “good” at it it’s okay.) this language makes like no sense and the mechanics are difficult to get a handle of (especially if you have any kind of disability that inhibits language or speech or whatever) there is absolutely no reason to apologize for that but that’s not to say that if you don’t have a disability that makes it harder you have to apologize. there is never a reason to apologizing for communicating!!!!

my blog is, and always will be, a safe place for people who are not confident in their english speaking abilities. you will never be judged or mocked here.

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

they should make a pill called adderall 2 and it lets me comprehend values bigger than 1

According to this article, there are 8 main types of disability. So to for disability pride month, let's have a poll!

Bonus question, what are your thoughts on this classification?

I've been updating my recipe notebook today and I realized, that the reason I started it the way I did was actually due to dyslexia 💀

In the notebook I break down the recipes I find on the Internet into the most simple possible bullet points, because reading the actual recipe while cooking always took a frustrating amount of time (I have literally managed to double to almost triple the time the recipe was supposed to take, just because of reading)

It's sort of fun to find all the ways I've been helping myself with this, despite not having had the diagnosis up until like 2 months ago.

Idk if other fellow dyslexics have this problem, but I've had to notice that conventional spelling programs don't reliably work for me.

They don't catch nearly all the mistakes I make (programs like word or pages for example)

So does anyone know better spelling programs?

I'm about to go uni and I don't know if two mistakes per line will fly there 😬.

I'm Raivo and from Estonia (he/him)

Hobbies: drawing, writing, collecting junk, walking while listening to music, obsessively organizing my books, song playlists + names by spellings, origins and meanings etc)

I'm neurodivergent

Teachers:"Math is super easy, you're just not trying hard enough"

Mom:"You're stubborn"

Relatives:"Maybe you just stupid 🤷"

Me:"You're gonna end up homeless you dumbass and you'll always be useless "

Hey y'all I was just wondering, is it ok for me to self diagnose myself with AuDHD and Dyscalculia?

I've done lots of research on it and I check off a lot of boxes and I relate to a lot of the neurodivergent memes and characters

I noticed that I get along better with neurodivergent people and a few people in my life have mentioned that I might have AuDHD+Dyscalculia

I really want to get an official diagnosis but my mom could care less about helping me and I think it requires money (I'm poor ASF)

I did go to a place awhile back that said I was "mentally disabled" but they didn't say with what unfortunately....

Me:*Looks up autistic signs*

Google:"Autistic folks are more likely to have stomach issues"

Me:"Huh, must be very rare bc me and my autistic siblings don't have that"

*realization kicks in*

Me:"Oh wait....we all have stomach issues"👁️‍🗨️👄👁️‍🗨️

(posted this while on my way to the stomach doctor)

I wanna make it clear that while I check my posts multiple times before posting, there could always be spelling or grammar mistakes or even words used wrong or weirdly.

I have a learning disability [it's called Specific Learning Disability on my paperwork, lol], as well as being autistic and ADHD. So keep all of that in mind if you see mistakes in my posts. Also, if you are polite about it, do feel free to correct me.
