ADHD and math (lemmy.one)
submitted 1 year ago by Havoc@lemmy.one to c/adhd@lemmy.world

Did anyone else have a weird experience with math? I could always do it in my head, really fast, get the answer, it's correct... But then I couldn't show my work or prove it, meaning it was useless. I'm curious if this is an ADHD thing? If so, does anyone know why?

I find showing my work and proving things super fun! It's a puzzle for me, to show how things work. I'm doing a master's degree in physics and I excel at the most rigorous classes and suck at the more heuristic ones.
