I'm pretty sure as fuck I have Dyscalculia. The symptoms are really hard to miss - can't do basic calculations for shit (really frustrating when you're trying to code), cant remember directions to different places even though I've been there 50+ times (sometimes can't even find my way home), I have no sense of time or general direction. Can't even tell left from right without thinking about it.
Wonder if I should get officially diagnosed? Not even sure how' I'd go about it.

If you get it diagnosed you might get some perks in school. Like extra time to do math work and stuff. Worth it if you're wanting something like that.
I'm epileptic.

Extra time wouldn't help for this particular disorder. Wonder if I could get SSI since I can only hold a job so long until it fucks me over. I used to work in marketing and I fucked up EVERY single order I did and it took them 3 months to figure it out and fire me. :)

I'd apply now as it takes a minimum of six months to get a decision on your claim. Also, they will provide any tests you need to prove your claims.

Took me years to get my clam through. SSA liked to pull stunts like require certain forms filled out by such and such a date, but wouldn't even mail out the forms until after that date was passed. Had to go to court, and the judge was furious. Awarded me a ton of money, more than I should have gotten. And that was with my own lawyer pissing him off.
For the record, bipolar and sever social anxiety disorder are my big 2 issues.

Wow never heard of that, but I've never been able to do math. Still have to think about my times tables, division tables forget it. Adding numbers, very slowly. Honestly this is one aspect of my life that drugs improved because I actually care about math even if I'm bad at it. Really hard for me to code algorithms even though I enjoy and have somewhat of a knack for coding.
I was technically diagnosed with depression, but its bullshit. I have pretty severe social anxiety. I've mostly gotten over it in terms of day to day life, paradoxically I can no longer piss if I think people can hear me / see me pissing. Which includes family and friends, not pets though. Sometimes I'll squeeze it out, but the embarrassment of failure causes extreme avoidance behavior. I'm too embarrassed to bring it up to anyone, but it definitely qualifies as a disability. I guess if all else goes to shit I'll get gubmint bux, don't know if I'd get much in the US though.
