oublietterated asked: I have severe dyscalculia, and I tend to simply refer to myself as disabled. If pressed, I'll usually just say that I have dyscalculia and maybe offer a brief description. I don't always like using the term learning difficulty because I have found that people tend to hear that, assume that I am stupid, and treat me as stupid. And as someone who loves learning more than anything else, graduated with a first and is currently doing a masters degree, that can be more than a little frustrating!

Thanks for sharing! I definitely didn’t feel licensed to give a definitive answer in that post, as it all hinges on how people prefer to self-refer :)
