Fuck the people that told me not to take a dyscalculia test because “it will make it harder for me to find a job”. I’m not sure if I have dyscalculia. I probably won’t know for sure now that I am nineteen, but looking back at my childhood, I wish I got tested. I wish I didn’t give a crap about what people told me.

Because what was the result of not getting tested? It taught me to hide my struggles. To count on my fingers under the table, to lie about my homework, to cry alone in bathroom stalls, to copy homework from peers and that’s just half of the things I did to simply finish my work. I’d argue that those experiences have been the most invalidating moments of my life, and honestly, the reason why I have codependency and perfectionism issues today.

This is why I want to urge every teacher, every teachers assistant, every parent and every caretaker to do research on dyscalculia, especially if your child (or pupil/student) is struggling with maths. Then, if given the chance, please get them tested. The advantages they are able to use in the future will take away loads of stress. No child should feel like they’re not good enough. Ever.

Note Taking With Dyslexia

Hey so I noticed that there is a lot of resources with note taking and ADHD but not much for my disability dyslexia. Since I am a college student it is essential that I absorb the content. But since I have dyspraxia, dyslexia, dyscalculia and dysgraphia I find it hard to take notes in the traditional scene. A reminder before I start, EVERY PERSON WITH DYSLEXIA IS DIFFERENT!! Meaning these tips may not work for everyone but they work for me.

[ophelia-coeur]

so im posting about dyscalculia but,,, i’m actually so mad???? my parents didn’t think to test me when i was younger? they’re against labelling and while dyscalculia isn’t deterring me from living my life, i do wish i’d known sooner. instead of feeling, you know, inadequate for most of my life. for having no orientation skills, inability to read time, just literally anyhting that requires math in some way i could not do except for the basics and i thought it was me. that i was the problem and simply not smart enough no matter how much i worked for it. i thought it was normal nothing came automatic, but apparently it should kind of be like reading in your own language.  anyway test your fucking kids if you feel like something is not completely right. you don’t have to treat them differently for it, but it’s nice to know. and to not have to deal with the bullshit of it all when you’re nineteen and are left with school trauma

[studiash]

this! this! this! Literally it makes me so mad that dyscalculia just goes completely ignored when a by maths difficulties are present and we're just seen as not trying hard enough or being lazy.

Hell, I struggled with reading for a little while as a kid (I eventually caught up but I was behind by quite a bit for a year or so, which is actually not particularly unusual, kids develop reading skills in quite a large timeframe), and the topic of dyslexia was brought up real quick and I was tested and it was concluded that I did not have dyslexia, I was just towards the lower end of reading developmental skills.

But when I was crying over maths and continually behind for years on end to the point where even now I still can't do basic maths in my head, and am incredibly inaccurate and slow using my hands and paper, and still fairly inaccurate when I have a fucking calculator for fucks sake? Dyscalculia wasn't even mentioned. I got diagnosed when I was 17, because I finally broke down so much over maths and had a decent counsellor who when I was crying over the fact I couldn't have a calculator in an exam and asking if there was any way I could have an access arrangement for that she suddenly remembered dyscalculia was a thing, and eventually I made sure when I had to get my educational psych assessment redone to continue my other access arrangements that dyscalculia was specifically tested for.

Turns out, not only do I have dyscalculia, but I have one of the most severe cases of it the psychologist I went to, who specialised in learning disabilities like dyscalculia, had ever seen. And it got brushed off for seventeen fucking years because no one thought that there could be a clinical reason for why I was struggling, nah, it had to be because I was lazy.

It’s #bell lets talk today in Canada that encourages people to join in the conversation and end the stigma against mental health.

I remember being a kid and being pretty open about my LD, until one of my friends told me I was being rude for talking about it because it made other people feel uncomfortable. That hurt and I stopped talking about it for a couple years. It took me a long time to realize that it wasn’t my fault if she was uncomfortable.

[hashtagld]

I was hoping to make a new post about this but I had a family emergency today. I want every day to be #bellletstalk and to end the stigma about mental health.

Empathy and compassion are two completely different things, please stop demonizing neurodivergent people by conflating them and saying that people who don’t have empathy are inherently bad people.

[autisticslp]

Dear SLPs, teachers, therapists, parents, etc.

I get that sometimes you students/clients/patients/children/etc. react in ways that don’t make sense to you. I understand that sometimes those reactions may seem bigger than you think that they need to be. But please, please do not use “size of the problem” as a way to gaslight these kids. Today I saw an SLP working on “size of the problem” with a student. The example was something along the lines of “You eat the same snack every day after school, but today you can’t eat that snack.” The “correct” size of the problem was small. The student kept insisting that it was a medium problem because of how upsetting it would be, but the SLP insisted that it was a small problem and that he should be able to brush it off. Unfortunately, this is not the first time I have seen a (presumably) NT adult steamroll a child’s emotions and prescribe the “proper” way to react. A schedule change is not a small problem for lots of ND people like myself. Now that I’m older I can handle things better, but at this child’s age not having a snack that I ate every day after school would’ve been catastrophic. Routines are security. They keep the world in balance. Just because it doesn’t feel like a big problem to you, an NT (or different ND), that doesn’t mean that it’s not a big problem to the people actually experiencing that major upset. By all means, teach kids how to handle changes in routine. Teach them coping mechanisms and give them time to prepare and make sure they know that no matter their level of upset things like hurting others are unacceptable. Do anything they find helpful - except tell them how to react emotionally. Do not tell them that their emotions are wrong and don’t make sense just because they don’t make sense to you.

I wonder how many disabled kids would be able to deal with mainstream school if the abled kids were taught to respect differences

[autisticscribbles]

If you are a neurotypical person who makes fun of or teases neurodivergent people please don’t major in psychology and/or plan to work with children with special needs. Seriously. Don’t do it. Even if you’re only making fun of “odd” people solely online.

If “weird” children or adults freak you out, maybe psych isn’t the field for you. If you made fun of your classmates in special ed or shared memes about “special ed kids”, maybe you shouldn’t be working in special education. Whether you’re at a school or working for a therapist, you’re going to be with these kids for a good chunk of the day. The last thing they need is someone who thinks they’re a freak.

They also don’t need someone who sees them as an inspirational tools for your self growth, or as strange entertainment. Even if they do things you perceive as really strange or gross, that doesn’t give you a right to film or blog about them for the Internet. These children will become adults one day, and they don’t deserve to have their most vulnerable moments public on the Internet forever. I don’t care how odd or weird these children may be, they are still people and they deserve the same rights as you.

Working with special needs children isn’t something you do just because it makes you look good or even makes you feel good. You are shaping the future of these kids and how they view themselves. Would you have wanted a teacher who hated kids or thought they were lazy/stupid? No? Then don’t become that kind of teacher for children in special education.

Disabled children already have hard enough lives thanks to mean peers and a society that hates them. The last thing they need is more bullying and trauma from grown adults.
