Her candid revelation sheds light on a learning disability that is often less understood than conditions such as dyslexia. Dyscalculia primarily affects numerical comprehension and can make everyday tasks involving calculations, numbers and financial management more challenging. The actress shared, “I try and understand as much as I can, but I have a learning disability, a maths learning disability. It is called dyscalculia. I try, but more often than not I make a mistake. I need my team. My accounts team looks into every detail.”
