Dyscalculia is a learning difficulty where a person has difficulty with numbers and mathematics in general.
Misremembering and mixing up numbers affects everyday life in many ways, including difficulty reading clocks, forgetting phone numbers or PINs, or giving incorrect change in the shop. Having and maintaining a budget could also be very stressful. People with dyscalculia can also find reading maps, learning dance steps or recognising patterns difficult.
