I've recently been made aware that I'm likely to have Dyscalculia. I've done online tests and the results show it's very likely that I do have it, which would make sense as I've always struggled with anything maths related.

I was wondering if anyone on here has it and if you have any suggestions for how to get it confirmed, (did you see a GP etc) and are there any resources, or apps that you find helpful for dealing with it?

Having gone my whole life assuming maths just aren't my strong point, it's been a bit of a relief to know there might actually be a reason for it. I always put it down as one of those things. I doubt it's going to change much as I'm nearly 40, but nonetheless any advice or resources people might be able to share would be much appreciated.

Here's some more information for anyone who might be interested:

Thanks in advance.

I’d just ring your GP pal, they will be able to tell you how to proceed, there are loads of resources online kids use these days, I don’t know your level my daughter uses a thing called TT Rockstars for simple arithmetic although maybe that might be too basic.

Thanks for the reply mate, I'll give them a call and see what they say. Cheers for the link as well, It's got a resources section which I will check out. Basic multiplication tends to be ok as I just memorised it from school, but anything beyond that gets challenging quickly. Appreciate the info!
 
I struggled with maths at school, failed my O level. It was a grammar school and there were some very clever lads there, unfortunately us less academically able got left behind by a maths teacher who taught at the level of the cleverest kids. I just gave up, but a few years later went to night school and with the help of a teacher who actually gave a shit, passed my O level with a grade B, and could have got an A with a bit more revision.
