I have dyscalculia, which is a real disability involving math. I almost didn't pass high school because of it. I had to go up to the University and take a Psychological test that determined which parts of my brain were used and which were not (no joke.) It came out that once math problems got too complex, my mind stopped putting things together. It's like having dyslexia, but with math and numbers. They legally had to let me graduate high school and the university had to let me in short my math credits. It was really weird. But to this day I can't multiply without counting on my fingers and can't divide. It also took me many, many years to learn how to read an analog clock.

The funny thing is, once people hear about this disability, suddenly everyone who is every bad at math has it....it cracks me up because only about 5% of the population of the world has it. You couldn't imagine what it's like until you're brain legitimately stops working math problems. it irritated the hell out of me to hear my friends try and claim it on themselves....I would spend hours in front of a math book crying my eyes out because the numbers were absolute gibberish to me. So no, no one on this post has it....and you should thank god for that every day.

Took all the way through differential equations in college. I use nothing more advanced than trig in my engineering career though.
