Dyscalculia, sometimes described as the relative of dyslexia,  affects numerical processing, sequencing, and spatial awareness, but often comes with exceptional strengths in creativity, intuition, and problem-solving— particularly in areas that rely on big-picture thinking rather than step-by-step mathematical logic. Their strengths often lie in areas that require imaginative thinking, pattern recognition (in non-maths contexts), and innovative problem-solving approaches.

Here is a list of common characteristics that may be seen in a dyscalculic individual. As with other neurodivergent profiles, not every individual with dyscalculia will display all of these characteristics, and the specific challenges and strengths can vary from person to person. Additionally, a person's difficulties may fluctuate depending on the situation, stress levels, or how information is presented.
