This rings true to me. I'm a good software engineer, decent at "real math" and close to hopeless at arithmetic to a level that has had me wondering if I suffer from some version of dyscalculia.
This is very confusing to friends and family who assume I should be some kind of savant with numbers until I explain "oh no, in fact the first practical program I wrote as a kid was one to do all my second or third grade math homework for me."
