Ah, I was just saying calculus for the sake of the conversation. I couldn't pass ANY math. I didn't really think I needed math at all...and my adult life and chosen career path has pretty much validated that belief...so it was particularly vexing to me that THAT of all things was what ultimately kept me from graduating.
One problem I know a lot of dycalculics are running into now are incompetent testers who refuse to give them a positive diagnoses because "well, he just tests too high in everything else, he simply CAN'T have a learning disability."
When you consider that the biggest red flag and diagnostic tool is the disparity between the student's intelligence and high testing in every other subject, that statement is particularly rich.
We still have a ways to go. But it is better.
And thank you for the kind words.
