dyscalculia
Math learning disorder
Dyscalculia is a learning disability affecting the ability to understand and work with numbers.
People with dyscalculia may struggle with basic arithmetic, estimating quantities, telling time, or grasping mathematical concepts that others find intuitive.
The condition is sometimes called "math dyslexia," though the two disabilities are distinct: She was diagnosed with dyscalculia after years of struggling with even simple calculations.
