What's the difference between dyscalcula and being bad at maths?

>> No.9689726

>>9689717
Being bad at math means you didn't study; dyscalcula means 2-digit IQ.

>> No.9689730

>>9689717
It's psychology, so the only real claim they can do is that it's a separate disorder (because it doesn't correlate with IQ or other learning disabilities), but there are like a million interpretations that cannot be tested.

Wait I think I may have this or some nature of it. It'd explain why I'm so mediocre in math and absolutely hopeless at computation despite really enjoying and putting time into it

What problems do you have with math?

That's exactly why you don't cite a Wikipedia article. Look at the references 5 and 6; they don't even mention IQ.

its like dyslexia for numbers
dsyxliec pepole itnrepert wrods dffierntly its hrader for tehm i.e. tiher brian cnat tlel the dfifrecne bteewen 'b' and 'd'
people with dyscalculia cant tell which number is bigger between 981258 and 971825 easily for example

>> No.9690780

I'd imagine that dyslexia is one of those problems that are going to become more bearable thanks to automation (e.g. voice-recognition software, outsourcing document-parsing to machines), and that the same would apply to dyscalculia.
Though this assumes that OP is in, or will eventually join, the workforce. If OP is NEET (not implausible given the accompanying image) then he can still enjoy the benefits of VR, but his dyscalculia will be less of an impediment, simply because there won't be that many obstacles in his life anyway.

Theres more types of dyscalculia. The basic thing is that you cant really learn math much, you have problems reading it, visualising it, counting and doing basic operations. With dyscalculia you can still learn math but it is impossible to get rid of these problems. So nomatter the time you spent doing math problems you will still be unable to for example visualise it. It is a lot more compelx than this but I cant be bothered because /sci/ doesnt believe in anything that is psychology related (even though IQ is psych) so I dont bother.

is occasional number flipping a mild case or does everyone do that
I also have difficulty maintaining accuracy and focus in long algebraic manipulations
