ADHD and me

[crazykidult87]

I am 28 and have severe ADHD mild dyslexia and an anxiety disorder. I really think I have dyscalculia but don't know how to find out. I'm really bright and try really hard I see things in pictures so I feel like that helps me in some ways but not mathematically. Lemme splain I only went to kinder 1st grade 4th and 5th I did home school after that my dad thought it would be a good idea for me to start working full time with him when I was almost 15. I have learned a lot working all these years with a measuring tape, but even after building parade of homes award winning cabinets I still struggle even with my tape measure some times. When I got screened for dyscalculia about 8 years ago the woman said she just thought that me not being in school was the reason I had such poor math skills. Perhaps. But why do I struggle with simple math I've been doing for years? I managed to pass my GED in 2013 but barely scratched by on the math even after taking months of classes every week. My therapist had helped me build up some confidence and suggested that I would be good working with children,which I am all for cause I've never Been able to relate to my peers at any age (My therapist puts my mental age somewhere around 14) so I am becoming a substitute teacher for elementary. I had to take a math test for the job and it was only like 20 questions and even though they said the rest doesn't affect whether I get the job, I feel like all of my self esteem has been destroyed. It took me forever and I couldn't even do 2 of the questions, I'm sure my grade would be terrible. Nothing was above 5th grade math level. I don't know what to do I don't know how to change. Does this sounds like dyscalculia to y'all?
