[QUOTE="Gene2memE, post: 76312194, member: 341130"] I have a relatively mild but uncommon form of dyslexia - discalculia, which is trouble with numerals rather than reading/words. In adulthood, it mostly presents itself as a tendency for me to transpose the position of numbers. For instance, if someone tells me a phone number, I'll commonly swap the positions of 8s, 6s and 9s. I have real problems counting numbers through the 60s, 80s and 90s as well - even speaking out loud, I will just drop out numbers in the series. As a child, I was slow to learn to count and as a teen mathematical concepts that I couldn't picture spatially/graphically were very difficult to learn/comprehend. I had extreme difficulty with some basic stuff like introductory algebra. However, calculus was comparatively easy and I would consistently score full marks in trigonometry. At university, statistics was [B]difficult[/B]. I probably spent more time studying to just end up with a pass in my first and second year econometrics and applied statistics classes than I did in the rest of my classes combined, over my four years of university.
