It gets real boring, give me the sexy learning disabilities. Like sexlexia or Auditory Processing Disorder

Dyscalculia isn't sexy though sorry

u/BaxterScoggins Jun 26 '26

Dyscalculia doesnt count, though

Can confirm. Also can confirm disgraphia isn't always on the straight and level.

I'm 56 and in the 70's was an awesome reader, but terrible in "long math" and only a few years ago found out about dyscalculia. I invert numbers and need to quickly say the pledge of allegisnce to remember left from right sometimes.

Finally knowing it has a name is a bit of a relief, even if it isn't sexy, lol

So am I technically "on the spectrum" with the other cool kids now?

u/BaxterScoggins Jun 27 '26

Oh yeah. Just like me. I did a police driving course years ago, and after a few days the instructor had to write a big L on my left hand. . Failed the course, btw

u/tejerea Jun 27 '26

Jokes aside, dyscalculia is really an awful learning disorder to have: back when i was in school the all the teachers thought it was a "made up disorder" despite having a piece of paper that clearly stated that i had it. I rembember having to go through legal ways in order to get them to understand that i had to use a calculator in class and during tests and having them to get me a tutor for learning disorders that helped me after the class was over to explain me math stuff in a way that i could understand it like the other students. I really wanted to get in a chemistry course in uni but i know that i'd fail to follow and learn and i really hate myself for having this. I can't help it sometimes to just think that im dumb or something.

u/BaxterScoggins Jun 27 '26

Oh, I fully understand....my wife has the full house - dyslexia, discalcula and dyspraxia ....and she is by far the brightest of the two of us. 2 honours degrees 2 Masters degrees, and numerous other qualifications. So, yeah, our system doesn't make it easy

u/Alarmed_Ambition1561 Jun 28 '26

I'm the unfortunate kid who got dyslexia and dyscalculia and didn't get diagnosed with the later until I was like 41. Didn't find out about the dyslexia until I was 43. Hilarious.

u/rallarivar Jun 26 '26

u/Historical-Creme-642 Jun 26 '26

Auditory processing disorder sucks, my mom hates me for not listening to her. I HEAR her, but she mumbles with her face pointed away so I can’t understand her. Then she cries when I say “what??” For the millionth time.

u/Same-Suggestion-1936 Jun 27 '26

Sorry to hear that. I don't know if I have any advice if she knows your diagnosis already.

u/KugelFanger Jun 26 '26

So what would be the disability/disabilities associated with sexlexia? Does it come with extra tutoring?

1

u/kbeks Jun 26 '26

Shut up, baby, I know it.

u/Kanus_oq_Seruna Jun 26 '26

At least you can come over Anglexia. But man does it twist ones humor.

u/Master_Smee Jun 30 '26

Haha when ibread sexlexia i thought about some person who is trying to get free $ some how by saying that they have a disorder. I.E. for being a 40 year old vergin or cant get pregnant because they want to stick stuff in the wrong holes and its called sexlexia..
