[QUOTE="Marcie Mac, post: 553852, member: 47"] Malika, I found out in my late 50's while being given a TOVA test for my ADHD that I had a Math disability. I remember sitting there and having a good cry, not about the ADHD as it wouldn't take a rocket sciencist to figure that one out LOL) but all of the grief and numerous spankings that I was given over NOT being able to do times tables and anything other than very simple addition, subtraction and division. One Christmas I didn't receive anything for bringing home a bad report card - just had to sit there while everyone oohhh'd and ahhhh'd over their presents. I will be 62 and still...do...not...get...math. Thankfully I grew up in a time where they had already invented the adding machine, and my SO has the ability to add sums in his head while we are grocery shopping and my contribution is just to tell him how much I have to spend LOL Its wonderful they have the ability to test for these things now even though you have to beat the schools about their heads to get them to do it Marcie [/QUOTE]
