I'm curious if anyone with dyscalculia, which makes number processing a bit tricky, has been able to learn Python for things like business automation. I'm considering diving in but would love to hear any personal experiences. What kinds of challenges did you encounter? What strategies worked for you? And how long did it take you to learn? Any honest feedback would be greatly appreciated before I commit my time. Thanks!

Programming is really more about logical thinking than just numbers, so I think it's definitely possible for you to learn Python. I don't have dyscalculia myself, but I believe if you're determined, you can do it! Give it a shot and see how it goes!
I've got moderate dyslexia, and I found learning programming pretty manageable, especially when using a good development environment. From what I understand about dyscalculia, I don't think you'll face too many more hurdles than someone who's new to coding. Go for it!
I also have dyscalculia, and honestly, it didn't give me much trouble at all while learning Python. Just take it one step at a time, and you should be fine.
Thanks for sharing! Do you also deal with inattentive ADHD?
