Trust the science, even if you don't know what it is.

I think this new disease is just called being a redditor

Same experience as enjoying magic tricks for r-slurs.

ok but seriously reading the wiki article of dyscalculia really makes it seem like these people are actually mentally r-slurred?
- 138 Context
They often struggle with key concepts like bigger vs. smaller
- 183 Context
Oh ffs this is just called being regarded.
It’s the same thing as calling a garbage man a sanitation engineer.
- 84 Context
Sanitation engineers make more than your average engineer though

I've met people of dyscalcula before
25% are r-slurred, but the rest have personal problems like daydreaming in class, going home and playing video games instead of catching up, and then getting in a cycle of horrible anxiety.

My teachers told me I was SOOOO smart in grade school. I just didn't apply myself It turns out the only reason I've been an entry-level barista for the past seven years is that I have dyslexia, dyscalcula, autism, and mental r-slurdation.
You see, I truly am smart (my second grade teacher said so), but the reason I got bad grades and had a failure to launch is because I struggle with all of these diagnoses.

I knew a guy who had legit dyscalculia a while back and I can confirm that dude was actually fully fricking r-slurred. Like people would hang out with him and then ask him if he had a developmental disorder tier r-slurred. He would always get mad and go "just dyscalculia!"
- 54 Context
Idk the only person I’ve met with dyscalculia was a light sperg who ended up doing cs after brute forcing all his math classes. Really struggled with math but just used all his neurodivergent focus on it. God bless that man.

I guarantee you that the overwhelming majority of people posting in that thread about how bad they are at maths didn't apply themselves in maths class and never studied, just assuming that one day they would magically understand it.
I notice that a lot of kids who are "gifted" in English class don't find maths intuitive the way they do reading and writing, so they give up on it. Then later in life when they struggle with basic numeracy skills they just complain that they were taught wrong or have a mental illness. Of course, there are genuinely shit maths teachers out there, lots of them, but if kids who don't understand the material never ask for help and refuse to study then they aren't going to get anywhere even with the best teachers in the world.

I had no goddarn clue what I was doing in Partial Diff Eqs and got a B-
I couldn't reproduce anything from that class with a gun to my head
- 19 Context
Diff Eqs was the first time in my entire lifetime I ever zoned out during a lecture and snapped back into it and was like "holy shit what" at what was on the board.
- 20 Context
You vomit a bunch of Fourier series on the page and hope it gives you something reasonable eventually.
- 13 Context
Yeah partial diff eqs are r-slurred and no engineers will deal with them unless they are fully forced to
Just make some assumptions, turn it into an ODE, then slap some error bars on it
- 10 Context
Yeah I'm not that good
I haven't even had to do a derivative at work ever
- 9 Context
Yeah I’m a software engineer now so I don’t even see equations anymore but I used to be a chemical engineer
Speaking from experience from the latter. But no one solves equations by hand anyways so most PDEs just get put into MatLab anyways. But back of the hand calcs yeah PDEs are a no go
- 10 Context
Oh sweet I'm a chemist, I had to take it for quantum mechanics
- 7 Context
Yeah thankfully in chemistry there’s not many PDEs, like kinetics stuff is what I’m thinking of. I assume you don’t use quantum chem in your actual job right
- 6 Context
You should encounter PDEs as a software dev if you are doing any computational engineering.
But I agree, most PDEs that you encounter during your job are not solvable analytical, but numerical. So all the shit "learn to solve them" goes out the window.

Yeah, back in HS I was r-slured at maths I scored like 2/20 in tests and stuff and I just thought I was too stupid to do HS maths.
But then I still needed math to finish HS so I legit studied on a regular basis for 1 month and that is all it took for me to pass with an 11/20 in the national exams

Everyone is bad at math its just autists would rather sit there and face punishing problems then deal with regular society

Look at the list of symptoms. lmao
Dyscalculia is characterized by difficulties with common arithmetic tasks. These difficulties may include:
Difficulty reading analog clocks[17]
Difficulty stating which of two numbers is larger Sequencing issues[dubious – discuss]
Inability to comprehend financial planning or budgeting, sometimes even at a basic level; for example, estimating the cost of the items in a shopping basket or balancing a checkbook
Visualizing numbers as meaningless or nonsensical symbols, rather than perceiving them as characters indicating a numerical value (hence the misnomer, "math dyslexia")
Difficulty with multiplication, subtraction, addition, and division tables, mental arithmetic, etc.
Inconsistent results in addition, subtraction, multiplication and division
When writing, reading and recalling numbers, mistakes may occur in the areas such as: number additions, substitutions, transpositions, omissions, and reversals
Poor memory (retention and retrieval) of math concepts; may be able to perform math operations one day, but draw a blank the next; may be able to do book work but then fails tests
Ability to grasp math on a conceptual level, but an inability to put those concepts into practice
Difficulty recalling the names of numbers, or thinking that certain different numbers "feel" the same (e.g. frequently interchanging the same two numbers for each other when reading or recalling them)
Problems with differentiating between left and right
A "warped" sense of spatial awareness, or an understanding of shapes, distance, or volume that seems more like guesswork than actual comprehension
Difficulty with time, directions, recalling schedules, sequences of events, keeping track of time, frequently late or early
Difficulty reading maps[18]
Difficulty working backwards in time (e.g. What time to leave if needing to be somewhere at 'X' time)
Difficulty reading musical notation
Difficulty with choreographed dance steps
Having particular difficulty mentally estimating the measurement of an object or distance (e.g., whether something is 3 or 6 meters (10 or 20 feet) away)
Inability to grasp and remember mathematical concepts, rules, formulae, and sequences
Inability to concentrate on mentally intensive tasks
Mistaken recollection of names, poor name/face retrieval, may substitute names beginning with same letter.[19]
Some people with dyscalculia also have aphantasia that affects how they can "see" in their mind's eye. However, people without dyscalculia also report having this – but it is more prevalent in those with dyslexia and other learning disabilities.[citation needed]

So they're just stupid and this is a nice word for it?

Actually just an alternate name for being r-slurred.
This has gotta be one where they just slapped on as much shit as possible to explain away their dumbassery.

Not reading that, but just because you didnt do your algebra I homework doesn't mean your special

So redditors disqualified?

Some of these apply to me even though I'm fine with (non-burger) college maths, but I know full well that it's because I didn't give a single shit about class until the end of high school, it's not a disorder or anything if you're not simply r-slurred
Yeah it's definitely an excuse for r-sluration

Why do so many Americans struggle to make it but poor immigrants come here and can thrive? It's because their competition are Americans

I'm failing my math class so hard right now. It's like my brain just won't let me remember the formulas and how to basically do anything.

Is this a disability? 🦋
- 44 Context
I'm pretty certain i have this. I've legitimately cried full on snot and everything after a exam in college at the age of 26.
waterboarding could not get me to embarrass myself like this in a public space online who normalized going to strangers and telling them everything about your pathetic life

Have to agree with redditors on this one, being dumb is a disease.
- 40 Context
Every problem is another mental illness. Like collecting badges lmao. Heaven forbid people take some responsibility or face the fact that they may need to work a tiny bit harder than others to be good at something.
Let me get this straight. In your tiny worldview - people acknowledging, accepting, and understanding their mental illness is a bad thing? It's not always solved by "working a tiny bit harder". Sometimes it's a disability/illness that requires learning how to approach something completely differently. People like you that assume that mental illness/disability is the evasion of responsibility and work is pure idiocy.
Having a mental disability isn't fun. Not being able to see things in the same way or approach problems in a way normative society dictates is acceptable isn't convenient. People like you that stigmatize mental issues are a huge contributor to this ridiculous perception.
At least educate yourself before making absurdly stupid statements like this.
educate yourself sweaty

not disagreeing with u but the post- its not even a mental illness. its neurological. they have it all wrong
- 14 Context
what's the difference? I thought all mental illnesses were neurological.
- 8 Context
nope. theres psychological (most mental illnesses), and neurological. for example schizophrenia and adhd are listed as both psychological and neurological because the symptoms fall into both categories, and are partly caused by structural issues in the brain
