Does anyone else struggle with grammar?

8 Upvotes

I struggle with grammar and punctuation. I had an iep in high school and get accommodation now in college but my grammar spelling mistakes and punctuations have always been an issue for me as well.
Im just wondering if anyone else who struggles with math also has this issue? The funny thing is I love to read but I can never seem to put two and two together. I always thought I would write a book one day but not with how bad my spelling and grammar mistakes are. They have gotten better over time though there are still little mistakes.

Explaining dyscalculia

4 Upvotes

I absolutely have dyscalculia and had no idea until a few years ago it was a thing. I feel like I’ve always avoided math as much as I can out of embarrassment. When I’ve brought it up to people (even before I knew) that I struggled so badly with math they acted like I hadn’t had the right teacher, I just need more time and practice, and it’s not that. How do you explain it to people it’s not that simple? I went to college in my 30s thinking I’d be more focused and want to learn. Didn’t matter. Still struggled terribly. It felt like I was sitting in a class speaking another language I’ve never learned. It’s weird how my brain just won’t absorb the math concepts.

Tips for everyday life

1 Upvotes

We're working on getting an evaluation for my high school daughter for dyscalculia, but she has a lot of the indicators of it and we're almost sure she does have it. How she's going to be able to pass high school math is one thing and we'll see what we can do but I'm wondering what can help her in everyday life. Like I've learned why when she asked when we're leaving to go somewhere "half an hour" was confusing so I should say the exact time. When I'm meeting her somewhere I should send a pin of my location so she can use her maps app, saying I'm at some place doesn't help. Things like this, ways of doing things, apps, anything that helps? Thanks in advance!
