My sister got all and I mean ALL the math smarts in our family. 

I learned in chatting with her this past week that there’s a math dyxlexia! I’d never heard of such a thing. It doesn’t fall on the spectrum but is a classified as a learning disorder.

It has an official name:  dyscalculia

Did some reading up on it since our conversation? I am the poster child for this learning disorder!

All the tears trying to memorize mathematical facts. Being shamed made to feel dumb by my mom. Being compared to my younger sister with, she can do this easily, why can’t you!?!

I don’t feel dumb anymore. Answers are a very nice thing, even when you’re not expecting them ☺️
