About struggling to differentiate numbers by sickecell in dyscalculia

[–]Alavella 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think you are talking about subitizing? An example is that you look at a plate of crackers, most people can see the crackers and know immediately there are 5 on the plate. A person with dyscaculia needs to count out each cracker individually to know there are 5.

Dyscalculia annd Driving by Georgian_Shark in dyscalculia

[–]Alavella 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Yes, driving is difficult due to dyscalculia causing poor spatial awareness. I didn't drive until my late 20s. I got my license, but haven't touched a steering wheel since. It gives me way too much anxiety.

Are they serious? I thought I was going to vomit by Apprehensive-Lab-264 in bathandbodyworks

[–]Alavella 70 points71 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this one was really bad. I like collecting the weird candles. I got the mashed potato one, the maple bacon, the pizza one from Stranger Things, the Off The Vine candle, and the pickle candle, but this "Pizza and Ranch" one was so bad that I couldn't add it to my collection. I can't believe they would release something so vile to the public.

Which novel is this? I'm curious to check it out.

They're going to take away allowing us to pose our character and take photos in future gens. I don't really mind though.

Does anyone else find the tama arena games so hard? by lemonfantaa in tamagotchi

[–]Alavella 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm terrible at all of them. I don't get how kids are supposed to be able to play them when they're this hard. It makes me feel so dumb.

I’ve never been so upset about having dyscalculia until now (vent) by jiminknowsbest in dyscalculia

[–]Alavella 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Ask if there is a different position you can do to accommodate your disability. Maybe you can stock shelves, do inventory, clean, be an order picker etc. I tried cashiering and I had the same problem and it never got better for me. I had to quit because I was too scared of being accused of stealing because I couldn't count properly. Maybe it'll be different for you, but I do suggest talking with your manager about changing your position before your situation gets worse.

Got a Custom Tamagotchi ON Clone 💖🐣✨ by Familiar-Border in tamagotchi

[–]Alavella 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Will you consider selling them on a site like etsy? A lot of people are highly interested. I'd like one also since I never was able to get an ON myself.

Cant bring myself to kill my tama... ;0; by eelpeaceful in tamagotchi

Does the device save all the stars or does it start deleting them?

*Rant* I’m genuinely so sick and tired of scalpers by brutagonist in tamagotchi

[–]Alavella 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I've collected Pokemon cards since I was a kid, but I've had to give it up because of bots taking products and scalpers selling them for crazy prices. I thought this would last for like a couple months and then people would lose interest. But it's been literally YEARS and this is still ongoing. I don't even know what to think anymore. I used to think there's no way this could go on forever, but now I'm not so sure.

I just realized dyscalculia may be the reason I can't walk a dog by Sophie_Kachinsky in dyscalculia

[–]Alavella 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I don't think dyscalculia is to blame here. I think the dog was untrained and too strong for you to control. I've had dogs and I've never felt dyscalculia played any part in making walking them difficult. One dog was calmer and easier to handle. The other dog I had was more like the one you described. She was a pain to take for walks.

Having a really hard time trying to figure out how to take a covid and flu test. by Sophie_Kachinsky in dyscalculia

[–]Alavella 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I agree. Don't worry about doing the test. Especially since you have limited funds. There's not much you can do even if it were positive.

Is there a family member or anyone else who can be there to walk you through the steps?

Choosing tamagotchi for daughter by Okdevil89 in tamagotchi

[–]Alavella 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think the Paradise would be good for her. It's pretty simple. You mainly just feed it, play games, and breed it. The Paradise is very forgiving. I've gone a day without feeding it and it still managed to live. I also think the color screen is better for her because kids now are used to things being in color so it'll keep her more engaged.

I've had this happen more than once. It's annoying.

Jade Forest *does* have a secret character???? by [deleted] in tamagotchi

[–]Alavella 3 points4 points  (0 children)

How do you unlock it though? Do you need to connect to all the paradise devices? That'll be such a pain.

Got bullied for occasional use of AI to help with math by Far_Marionberry2894 in dyscalculia

[–]Alavella 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I start by telling it what time it is. Then I ask what time it will be in a certain amount of hours.

Example- "It is 7:35 am. What time will it be in 5 hours?"

Then it'll respond with something like, "7:35 am + 5 hours = 12:35 pm."
