I'm well annoyed now.

Here's the thing:

I have a very mild form of this thing called dyscalculia, which is a dysfunction similar to dyslexia but also quite different.

Now when I was originally assessed, the psychologist at my then-college sent a copy of the report (with my permission) to my employer.

Some years later, and my employer has suddenly felt the need to start telling people in the office about it.

So as you can appreciate, I'm extremely offended, because not only is it a huge breach of trust, it's highly unprofessional on his part, and casts unfounded doubts on my own professional capacity.

To illustrate: He's been telling people that I have 'number dyslexia', which conjures up an image of someone who reads 6's and sees 9's, or reads 1,000 and sees 10,000. Now that's simply not the case, that's ACTUAL dyslexia.

What *I* have (which is in the report so he knows this) only affects mental arithmetic. As a result, even though I was diagnosed at the start of Foundation, I was never granted any extra time or special concessions throughout the entire AAT accounting qualification. So long as I have somewhere to write the numbers I'm working with, I'm as capable as anyone else.

I mean for pity's sake, I wrote an online article in 2007 about the maths behind cubic bézier curves which has stayed in the top 10 for the last 2 years!

So yeah, I'm deeply offended, so I'm gonna have some comfort chocolate, then I'm gonna print this article off and ram it down his gullet
