Dyscalculia would must defiantly effect computing. I feel it might even be worse in some cases. The only way around this is a text-to speech application. There are ones for coding and computing.

Please get yourself a copy of the following texts:

• Mathematics for Dyslexics and Dyscalculics: A Teaching Handbook, 4th Edition
• Fingermath

The first book will help you a lot with understanding the different failure modes dyscalculia sufferers have to deal with. Many are functionally unable to memorize their math tables without significant interventions. This book will describe the issues and some very effective mitigation strategies.

The second will give you a fallback method to help those who are completely unable to memorize basic math facts at all. It's basically enables the learner to perform high speed calculations for addition, subtraction, multiplication, and even division on their fingers.

What do you struggle with, specifically?
Like dyslexia, many people who *cannot learn* with some ways of teaching can -- usually, but not always, with a bit more work and time (sometimes it's like "OH!!!! THIS CLICKS!!" but usually... it takes more) -- learn to understand math well enough for most college math requirements.
If you're relying on memorizing that may have helped short term, but if you didn't build the concepts then it starts totally falling apart right around algebra time. Or, is memory the issue and you've learned to compensate to get those other A's?
Paul Nolting has some good books out about "winning at math" for dealing with learning math w/ learning issues and/or anxiety https://www.amazon.com/Winning-Math-Revised-Updated-Seventh/dp/0940287730...
I work at a community college and you almost certainly know more math than at least a third of folks who are aiming at 2- and 4-year degrees. We have walk-in tutoring where I help 'em build understanding and get through... it's possible :)

This app has been a life saver for me and anything time related time calculator

I also force myself to do my time when I break for lunch and at the end of the day because I'd rather quit my job than spend a day trying to remember things and do time based maths. It's easier in small chunks!

If you have an android phone the app rack math is amazing. You can set what plates and bar you have, enter the weight you need and it tells you which ones to put on

Hey, I'm out here!

It's not rare. Somewhere between 2 and 6% of the population have it. I don't know anyone else in real life who has been diagnosed either, but I know some folks who probably have it but were never tested because back when they were in school, learning disabilities 'weren't a thing yet'.

I remember when I was diagnosed I felt lonely, it seemed like dyscalculia was this super-rare disability and no one understood what it was like. I stumbled upon Dyscalculic Dolphin one day and loved how I could relate. The original site seems to be offline, but take a look around those search results, I know it helped me.

I just know from a video I watched that the tale tell sign of dyscalcula is how fast you can count the number of objects on a screen. So I figured I'd start there.

I do have a jug of saline solution.

This is the one I grabbed:
