I have a learning disability that I just discovered last year, when I told a friend that I enrolled in Pre-Algebra 3 times and could not pass it. Last fall I was diagnosed with Dyscalculia.
Since this discovery I get help at college with special accommodation. For the first time I am carrying a strong B in math. I kind of laugh too, because I think after now my 4th Pre-algebra class I should be able to pass by now. But, I know thats not true without the help of being diagnosed I probably would not be passing math today. Its funny but I noticed yesterday I could not get my brain to stop transposing my fraction expressions. I would start a problem and write down the problem and then finish it, and low and behold it was wrong, I would rework it and re work it, just to figure out i flipped the darn numerator and denominator, Ugh!. Had to start all over again. With my dyscalculia I have to start from beginning to follow the pattern correctly or I cannot finish the problem. Anyone else have the same issue in school?
