You know, I've been wondering if I have a mild form of dyscalculia. I do have difficulties seeing the numbers properly if I don't really concentrate. I always have to double-check everything, especially if there's a long series of numbers, because I frequently get them mixed up. And I can't just look at a number as see what it is, like... 436 or whatever. I can't see that it's four hundred and thirty six until I actually 'spell it out' in my head.
I can do really simple math in my head, but it usually takes twice as long as for other people. :p I sorta have to do the finger counting, only in my head, heh.
And I also feel embarrassed asking for help sometimes, because... gah. :( I'm sorry you dropped out of college because of it, but I totally understand it.
