4-6% of the World’s population are dyscalculic. Here’s a few of the famous dyscalculics! Music: incompetech.com – Licensed under Creative Commons by Attribution 2.0, licence and royalty free. The People: Thomas Edison (inventor) Cher (singer, actress) Hans Christian Anderson (Danish author of several World-famous fairytales like “The Little Mermaid”, “The Snow Queen”, “The Ugly Duckling”) Benjamin Franklin (one of the Founding Fathers of the United States, author, politician, scientist, philosopher, publisher, inventor, diplomat…) Henry Winkler (best known as The Fonz from Happy Days, now a published author of several childrens’s books about children with learning disabilities) Mary Tyler Moore (from The Mary Tyler Moore Show, d*** Van Dyke Show, That 70’s Show, countless tv productions…) And then there’s the character Max Lopez from The George Lopez Show and Liberty from Degrassi: The Next Generation. DISCLAIMER: For obvious reasons Hans Christian Andersen, Ben Franklin, Albert Einstein and Thomas Edison did not get diagnosed with dyscalculia – so we don’t claim that they are dyscalculic, but chose to add them in this video because studies show that they in fact had significant problems with numbers depite being highly gifted in other areas – that’s how a dyscalculic is.

“Imagination is more important than knoweldge” – Albert Einstein =)
im famous in my town of kirie and i got dicalculea i should be there
I suffer from this as well
I am a little disappointed with this video. They show two fictional characters and have two famous people who shouldn’t be on the list. It has been proven that the whole Albert Einstein thing was a myth made up by “Ripley’s Believe It or Not.” It has also become well known in recent years that Thomas Edison would buy patents, or in some cases, flat out steal ideas for “his” inventions.

Thanks for that, this makes me feel better about myself!
Check the video” ask me about dyslexia”
i am also dyslexic…i often counfuse with right and left …..i cant talk as fast as others…i ofen forget the words which i want to talk…..the people who are suffering from dyslexia shouldnt be disappionted….they should be proud because the will be awarded with some tremandous talents…..
Heh, some hoep at last… if these people can get somewhere with this problem, hopefully i can too. All i ever wanted to do is teach art… and they say a need a GCSE in maths. I’m dyscalculic, so its an uphill battle i just ain’t winning so far.

Wetards?
to coolmanram, Dyscalculic means you cant do arithmetic in your head doesn’t mean your bad at solving math.
Eeinstien
interesting
i have the same thing as cher and herny.
I never knew i had it NONE my teachers told me, i just found out at 14 yrs old. PPl should of diagonist me. math haters unit! im geting a IEP
i’m in your same position i always knew i had a problem with numbers but didnt know it was a disorder until a two years ago all the signs were there but no one recgonized it especially since i was black in a black community they denied my rights to special help just thinking i was being lazy or i was stupid, i want ot tell the army about it but i dont know if it will cause me not to get i already took the asvab as usual math caused me to get a low score
Albert Einstein was not Dyscalculic, he was a self taught calculus student by age 13.
MY College has finally understanding so nowi get help on it.
yeh exactly, i don’t think if anyone knew when i was at school that i had dyspraxia that it would’ve made any difference, there was favouritism with the students, and the fact that it made me slow to do things and found it hard to start things, the teachers would single you out…….blah
some teaching staff just arn’t good anyways
