It's called dyscalculia when severe enough.
- tolbish 5y agoSo someone who doesn't have dyscalculia, but is just having a bad day and isn't doing math well...we wouldn't say they are still disabled, and we wouldn't call it a situational disability.
- pseudalopex 5y agoWe wouldn't call them not good at math either. Most people wouldn't call it a situational disability because they don't know the term. But it's a common term in relevant fields.
- tolbish 5y agoI have seen multiple people throughout my life say "I can't do math today" while referring to their work and then avoid doing computationally-heavy tasks for the day.
- pseudalopex 5y ago"Can't do math today" and "not good at math" are different.
- tolbish 5y agoIt's "temporarily being not good at math", which is the point.
