| Introduction | Welcome to the Dyscalculia Diaries. I want to share my story and experiences of living with this unusual math learning disability in the hopes that it may help others and spread the word that it does exist. After struggling for years with mathematical concepts and thinking, and being misunderstood by my teachers and my family, I was finally diagnosed with dyscalculia in 2002 while attending college. |
