You have no idea how reading this post has made me feel. I'm 20 and I have been wondering for a while now why I can't do simple maths, like apparently "simple" multiplication and addition in my head, why when I'm driving get confused between left and right and end up always in the wrong place or forgetting where I am going. I have always been relatively uncoordinated and even had to stop dancing because of it. I thought it was just me until now. I don't think my parents fully understand what is wrong with me and it's really hard to deal with when there isn't a name for it.

I'm so glad I found this website! Thank you so much for sharing your experiences. It's made me feel better about myself.
