I think I have dyscalculia. It was never a noticeable problem in school, and I've never gotten a diagnosis, but it does seem like maybe a reasonable way to model my problems. (Maybe?? I'm unsure how many of my problems count as "dyscalculia" considering I feel pretty not-central-example.)

1. When I got extensive cognitive testing, one test required me to count letters/numbers in an audio recording. I found it overwhelmingly difficult and scored 2nd percentile

2. By far, the hardest part of cooking is remembering more than 1/2 of a recipe-instruction at a time. (e.g. Recipe calls for 3 Tbsp sugar, so I grab the tablespoon, and then I need to re-check how many Tbsp I have to measure out, and then I dump 2 Tbsp into the bowl, and then sometimes I lose count at this point and forget how many Tbsp I've put in so far.)

3. Counting reps during exercise is absurdly difficult for me

4. Learning step patterns in dance also seems way more difficult to me than it is for anyone else -- even though I've been doing a form of partner dancing for years. (I chose one without precise step patterns due to my troubles, and it never got easier.) Relatedly: It feels near-impossible to grok rhythmic patterns in music

5. When someone spells something out loud, my brain reacts to this almost as if I am hearing meaningless gibberish. I have to listen really closely and carefully to actually get a spelling out of this. (I know this isn't about numbers but it feels related.) When I spell things out loud for other people, I feel like I can't keep track of what I'm saying, and I'm super-not-confident I actually said it right.

6. I embarrassingly forget a lot of numbers that I feel like I am expected to remember (e.g. approximate populations of countries, numbers relevant to CS when I was a software engineer, rough timelines of earth/humanity, birthdays)

7. CURRENT PROBLEM: Ugh I wanna knit but even the most basic patterns seem so hard for me!! Even when I avoid patterns that require counting! I'm doing a pattern where the odd rows are very slightly different from the even rows. Apparently I cannot keep track of whether I am on an odd row or an even row. Might sew a temporary sign onto the "right side" of the work.
