Hi! My name is Natalie. I am a 24 years old and I know I have always struggled with math for as long as I can remember. I have had to retake so many of these classes and been tutored also. I have not been officially diagnosed at all, but the more I have read about this, the more and more I see myself. I go to school right now, but will soon be taking a break for about 8 months. I also seemed to have problems with coordination and music too. I can't write much now... So, that is it for now..

Hi Natalia! Welcome. I was not diagnosed until after 6 months after I found out dyscalculia existed. I was sure I had it, but wanted to take the test anyway. Hopefully I can use it if I need help in school, some day. The coordination and music problems is also a part of dyscalculia, most dyscalculics have that. I hope you can and will use the discussion forum

hi natalie! (pretty name, btw). The same thing happened to me- I didn't even remotely think i had a learning disability until this year. I'm just now being tested, but for me it's beyond a shadow of a doubt. Welcome!

Hi Natalia:
Glad to meet you. Hmm I suspect I'm the oldest one here, and have known about my dyscalculia for over 10 years. But non-dyscalculics still seem to be surprised that the condition even exists. Oh well.
I don't know how it is in Europe or wherever you all are, but in the U.S. one thing nice is that legislation allows us to get accomodations for dyslexia and even dyscalculia in school, as long as we have been tested by a professional. So I got longer test times and stuff.
