Dyscalculia: News from the web:
Yes even a awarded rapper has a history of learning disabilities, his words:
“I was born dyslexic so even when I was 10 years old, I couldn’t say my ABC or my 123. My father was so troubled that he is very smart but his son is not smart. They were not able to diagnose that it was dyslexia and dyscalculics so they became very afraid that I would grow up and become nothing”

Living with Dyscalculia
Dyscalculia: News from the web:
A great story by Krystal M Chuon about her life with dyscalculia.
One passage sticks with me and underlines the need for both awareness and a diagnosis:
Finding out I’m neurodiverse and coming to terms with my learning disability brought me comfort. It made all those years of confusion and frustration make sense. I also felt less lonely knowing so many others out there share my struggles. I’m more kinder on myself when I “can’t math” in a given moment and take my time instead of quickly giving up. There’s still a low awareness of dyscalculia, but I hope in due time, it’ll be as widely known as other learning disabilities such as dyslexia so that those like me can get diagnosed early and provided the proper assistance in overcoming challenges to excel in life.

Dyscalculia does not have an impact on your IQ, how smart you are, it just means that your brains are wired different and you may come up with other things than most people. This is why the industry starts to wake up to the value of neurodivers people and starts to recruit specifically for them.
