People here seem to be confusing Discalculia with Dyslexia.

Yes, I believe in dog.

Seriously I played with a guy in the Oklahoma State U symphony who had dyslexia. He wore tinted glasses that somehow helped, although how I'm not sure.

that will be to do with reading, my sister has dyslexia and she finds it easier to read things thar a black on blue than black on white, other people also find it easier to read black on other colours.

so that will make white things essentially turn blue but black writing would sitll be black. a certian colour and it would make things easier to read.

Thanks for pointing out the distinction

I have a problem with numbers only. It's called Dyscalculia, the arithmetical equivalent of dyslexia. Dates, digital time, calculators, anything with numbers might as well be in chinese. I've overcome it and taken some advanced college math but it's still a major problem. I design in CAD, program my CNC machinery in G-Code and pretty much work with math/numbers all day. I use a slide rule instead of a calculator to keep my brain from exploding. Quite often I cannot recall dates with the year, even my own kids birthdays but I can count, make change even calculate a tip or percentages in my head, no problem

I have that too, it has messed up my hope to ever learn algebra. I do not have dyslexia if so i would be so depressed as I love to read.
