Why do I mix up numbers alot?

Post Reply New Topic

I just make alot of mistakes most of the time.
If I'm doing something quickly everything usually turns out messed up.

Why is this and I do I prevent it?

Perhaps you have Dyscalculia?

I can do arithmetic

Isn't this common in people with Dyslexia?

You might have dyscalculia.

Ahh, yes, my bad. I were too quick to answer.

I believe reading 4060 as 6040 is relevant to Dyslexia.


...but then again Dyscalculia have these symptoms: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dyscalculia#Symptoms

Perhaps you are just working too fast and aren't checking your work? I think this happens to everyone.

Have you been checked out for dyslexia?

I do not have dyscalculia but I also often accidentally mix up numbers when reading, saying them out loud or when writing them down/copying them from somewhere due to my ADHD.

From what I understand, this is a common phenomenon in students with ADHD (as are seemingly dyslexia-like symptoms) but the mistakes are stemming from the impaired ability to regulate one's attention (that if left untreated and if a student frequently gets distracted from lessons and school-work tends to result in further learning impairments over the years).

Students with dyscalculia or dyslexia usually struggle significantly in reading, writing or maths even when they are attentive and focussed on their work.

Edit: So, what I meant to say is that mixing up numbers often can also be due to ADHD.

This is something I've had trouble with, and looking back it's actually been from an early age, although I've also had a number of the problems associated with dyscalculia.

I went to the doctor about the situation, however, given the circumstances which led me to go to the doctor (a work situation) they said it was just nerves and would pass - it didn't.

I don't think I've got dyslexia, I'm not sure about dyscalculia. But I don't know what to do.

I have the same problem. I often read two-digit numbers backwards, though I don't think I have dyslexia.

I do have a language delay( receptive , expressive language disorder and auditory processing disorder.) Sensitive to sound. Problems Concentrating and attention. I understand maths , the concepts. I have a hard time doing maths though because I most of the time mix up the numbers alot and I can do arithmetic too. I sometimes in english say instead of dress trust and just mix up words with other words. But idk.
