Hi,

I normally post on the bipolar forum but this isn't appropriate for that section.

I have always really struggled in maths basic maths like adding subtracting dividing and multiplying. I was in the bottom sets in maths class. I was in supported classes for maths too. My maths teacher when I was 17 said he thought I had dyscalculia but he didn't have enough evidence etc he did ask I didn't take maths the following year. I would of left maths out after I was 16 but maths is a must until the final year at school.

I took (paid) for a Dyscalculia test recently and it came back negative however I was lower in certain areas and it was mainly for children but could be used for adults.

I don't think I can get tested outwith being in education I'm 36 now and struggle with so much like left and right, time, length, volume, cooking and baking recipes baffle me etc etc

Any thoughts guys or has anyone got Dyscalculia and can help me out?
