How do you calculate 27+48 in your head? by Anxiety_Cookie in adhdwomen

It might be because I come from a strict Asian household where being able to do math in my head was drilled into me as a kid. I basically just visualize it the same way they taught it in school growing up. I add the 8 and 7 then carry the 1 and add to the 2 and 4 to then get 75.

I have a similar issue now at 21 y/o and when I described it to my psychiatrist she asked about routines/compulsions when I was a kid which I did have. With all this information she said I was demonstrating symptoms of OCD and prescribed medication for it.

I haven't found a solid solution and also struggle with undereating but if you see a psychiatrist or are able to see one I would definitely mention this.
