LoL! Thanks I think I get it XD
actually I'm in that weird area where I think I get it but also I don't but that's okay it's just me being glitchy
I didn't know dyscalculia was a thing til about 5-10 years ago or so either when one of my online friends mentioned having it and I looked it up and was like does this mean that I'm not actually completely dumb?! XD

You're definitely not! You're one of the nicest, most empathetic, creative and clued-in online peeps I've ever met. Could a completely dumb person draw so much hair and scales and feathers? I don't think so.
Aww thanks 😅
It was very hard not to feel dumb at school when I struggled so much with maths and really struggled with the apparently way stuff that everyone else could process and numbers that I swear changed in appearance between readings assuming I could make any sense of them to begin with and got told it was because I wasn’t reading carefully or working carefully enough and I really tried 😭
I truly hope kids have it a little bit easier now that educators seem to understand a little bit more about how different brains work and process information differently. I'm sure it's still a challenge, but hopefully people don't think someone is bad at math or reading because they're not paying enough attention.
I have a minute sample of good educators to work from (so small that "statistically insignificant" probably doesn't even start to cover it XD) that do understand this and will try to find out if there's underlying issues before concluding that the kid is just being lazy/careless (most of the time there's an underlying issue but some kids are just lazy/careless/can't see how school is relevant to their interests and don't have the life experience to realise that at least some of the stuff might be useful at some point and thus quite simply do not care).
