#dyscalculia

[anarchypumpkincowboy]

Math question came up and my mind blanked so hard I started having flashbacks to high school

fuck it. shout out to "high functioning" neurodivergents

the ones who can mask easily, the ones who can get social cues, the ones who have managed to go most of their life not even knowing they were ND because they didn't present as the stereotypical ND person.

the ones who can pay attention in class, understand social etiquette, who understand societial expectations

the ones who don't feel neurodivergent enough bc they don't struggle in the same ways/areas a lot of NDs do, or they can't relate to other NDs' experiences because they always understood these things easily

the ones with high empathy, the ones who DO get the joke, the ones who are constantly told that they can't possibly be neurodivergent because they don't act like what you'd expect a neurodivergent person to act like.

you are neurodivergent enough. you are valid, and so are your experiences. not struggling as much as others do in some places doesn't mean you dont struggle at all. your condition and diagnosis is valid. your symptoms are valid. YOU ARE VALID. not checking all the supposed boxes doesn't mean you aren't neurodivergent. you are enough. you are valid. you are loved. you are valued. you matter. you belong in neurodivergent spaces, you deserve to use whatever resources are available to you, you are allowed to take up space in these communities. and i am so, so proud of you.

feel free to, and actually, i encourage you to reblog this with your experiences. we belong in this community as much as anyone else. please also tag this w/ any neurodivergent conditions i may have forgotten 💙

since this is getting lots of notes I'd like to add, even if you're undiagnosed or maybe self diagnosed, for whatever reason, (i.e. can't get access to a diagnosis, not being taken seriously, or just not wanting an official diagnosis, etc.) this still applies to you. actually especially to you folks. don't think for a second you're not valid just bc you don't have the paperwork or whatever to say it

As someone who is somewhat of a “veteran” of the online ND community, I’m disappointed in the lack of positivity and love for lesser known diverse cognitive conditions, and the opposing abundance of posts about “cures” or outdated criteria or treatments for those conditions. So, without further ado, I want to say hello to anyone with any of the disorders I’m listing, and give them the love and support that hardly anyone else in our community has… Shoutout to:

People with Down syndrome

People with Fragile X

People with William’s syndrome

People with dyslexia

People with dyspraxia

People with dyscalculia

People with dysgraphia

People with Prader-Willi syndrome

People with PANS or PANDAS

People with aphasia

People with a TBI (traumatic brain injury)

People with chronic/early onset mental illnesses

People with cerebral palsy

People with FASD or were otherwise disabled via other substances in utero

And many, many more I may have forgotten to list (but still support and love, I will add more to my list)

You are all beautiful and wonderful, and you all deserve so more love, appreciation, acceptance and support. You are just as neurodiverse as the rest of us, and your voices deserve to be heard and amplified.

I love you all ❤️

DYSCALCULIA TOOL ALERT!

This is an acrylic magnifying glass with a green strip in it that helps you read long strings of numbers! It's been known for a while that putting a colored filter over pages can help people with dyscalculia read numbers without them flipping places, but this is the first time I've seen something so simple and accessible. I put it on some test numbers and my eyes didn't feel like they kept wanting to jump around all over the number. I can keep this on my desk and use it on paper, or hold it up to my monitor to read long numbers at work! It may help people in other ways as well, this is just what I bought it for and I already love it!

I found it at a Daiso location, but there are probably others online.

Spread the word!

EDIT: It's also like $2, so pretty much anyone who needs it can afford it!

Shout out to people who can not tell the time

Shout out to people who need a little longer to figure out the time

Shout out to people who can't do "quick" maths in their head

Shout out to people who need to use a calculator for even "simple" maths

Shout out to people who need others to read number a for them

Shout out to people who cry over maths and numbers

Shout out to people who say the wrong numbers when reading or talking about prices and the time of day

Shout out to people who can't read charts and graphs

Shout out to people who get confused with mathematical concepts

Shout out to people who can't read music because it seems mathematical to them

Shout out to people who's maths struggles limit them

Shout out to people with dyscalculia or math struggles, basically. I am with you. I am here for you. I see you. It sucks, and most of the world doesn't even know about dyscalculia. But it'll be ok. It won't go away but people will help you, you can adapt. I love you. Screw math ❤

please stop associating the term neurodivergent with JUST autism and adhd. like please. there are so many ways to be neurodivergent and it’s not fair to assume that it’s just about autism adhd.

Did you know it's Neurodiversity Celebration Week this week? It runs from the 18th - 24th of March.

Neurodiversity isn't just about autism - it also includes ADHD, dyslexia, dyscalculia, dyspraxia, Tourette's and OCD, among various other conditions and neurotypes.

If you're neurodivergent, remember to celebrate yourself this week, and if you know someone who is, let them know how much you appreciate them :)

i am convinced that "eccentric" is just the pre-discovery-of-neurodiversity word for neurodivergent. yeah hes "eccentric" oh you just mean he has autism. that's why he's weird bro. he just has adhd. anyway in other news i think i might be eccentric?

This is your daily reminder that "neurodivergent traits" do not exist.

"Neurodivergent" is an extremely broad term that refers to anyone who has some kind of neurological and/or psychiatric condition that causes them to be significantly different from most of society. It's up to the person themselves whether they want to use that label based on their personal experience, but here's a (non-exhaustive) list of conditions that can be neurodivergent:

Autism spectrum disorder

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder

Dyslexia

Dyscalculia

Dysgraphia

Dyspraxia

Sensory processing disorder

Auditory processing disorder

Visual processing disorder

Various kinds of mutism

Language disorders

Tourette's Syndrome and other tic disorders

Functional neurological disorder

Aphantasia

Prosopagnosia

Synthesia

Conduct disorder

All personality disorders

Obsessive-compulsive disorder

Bipolar disorder

Schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder

Fetal alcohol syndrome/fetal alcohol spectrum disorder

Post-traumatic stress disorder and complex post-traumatic stress disorder

Dissociative identity disorder, OSDD-1a and OSDD-1b

Traumatic brain injury

I could go on.

For a "neurodivergent trait" to exist, it would have to apply to all of those, plus more conditions I forgot to include. Obviously not possible. The only actual "neurodivergent trait" would be "you have a neurological/psychiatric condition".

If you mean autistic and ADHD traits, say that. If you mean mood disorder traits, say that. Neurodivergent is such a broad term, you need to use accurate language to ensure you don't accidentally spread misinformation (which has happened multiple times with the term "neueodivergent traits".)

no more supergenius autistic. no more number obsessed autistic. show me autstic characters with learning disabilities. show me autistic characters who hate numbers and struggle with math.

once again fyi—

“intellectual disability” is one thing (UK: learning disabilities)

it is overall(!!) intellectual functioning difficulty (usually measure by overall IQ below 70, yes ew IQ etc etc i know), plus adaptive functioning difficulty, plus start before 18.

it not “intellectual disabilities” not “an intellectual disability” (there only one)

dyslexia dysgraphia dyscalculia are not “an intellectual disability”

they specific learning disabilities, or UK: learning difficulties (edit: originally misspoke & said learning differences, that wrong!)

get word right, use right tags 👍

please let me know in the comments/rebloggs.

I'm autistic and I love making lists. I also hope it may help spread awareness about neurodivergent people!

I am not an expert. But I do believe that we should be careful to include people in the neurodivergent umbrella. We are stronger together.

Neurodivergent includes anything that is not neurotypical so ADHD, Autism, anything that falls under the Dys category (dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, dyspraxia, ect), OCD, BPD, and more. Undiagnosed is just anyone who thinks they may be neurodivergent but is awaiting a diagnosis/unable to get a diagnosis for the time being.

Please reblog for a bigger sample size and feel free to comment.
