Everybody knows what dyslexia is.  How many of you have heard of dyscalculia?  (Ha!  Firefox doesn't even recognize it as a word!)

I never knew about it until JUST NOW, and... it explains so much!  I'm experiencing a major "holy crap!" moment right now, so just bare with me for a bit.

If you want to see the symptoms, Wikipedia has a decent list of them.  [link]

When I was younger, I fit so many of those it's not funny.  I still fit a good number of them.

All the hours of frustration and tears I had growing up, trying to learn math and failing miserably, because it just wouldn't "click." My low-self-esteemed-teenager self used to just think I was stupid. If I, or just ANYBODY, had known about this, maybe I could've actually really learned math, without the insane amounts of frustration and feelings of inadequacy and hopelessness I had to go through.

AAAARRRRRRGGGGHHH!!

Well now YOU know what it is.  If you think you or someone you know, especially if you're still in school, might have this, GO!  Get tested and get help, you don't have to go through what I did.
