I was once again watching the West Wing and as usual Martin Sheen's character was saying something intelligent, this time he was asking people the definition of Acalculia. Some of the other character's, being equally as smart as the president (or equally well rehearsed as the case may have been) knew the answer. I on the other hand had no idea! It turns out that Acalculia, according to the definition on the West Wing, is the inability to do simple mathematical problems. This reminded me of a friend of mine who after a big night out was supposed to be counting money at work, however instead of adding the notes together, she found herself just saying what each note was and putting it in a pile. Once her co-worker realised what she was doing, she told her it was best if she went home! So this is where my mind went when thinking about how somebody with Acalculia might suffer.
I decided not to rest here, but went to do one of my (hopefully now famous) ten minute Google searches, and discovered that actually Acalculia was much more serious. It turns out that Acalculia is actually more accurately described as, a person who has difficulty with simple mathematical equations due to an acquired brain injury. Basically it is not just that they cannot perform the mathematical functions, but in order to be diagnosed with Acalculia, they previously had to have had the ability to perform those simple mathematical problems. Now again my friend who acquired a hangover and lost the ability to count money, could technically be classed as have Acalculia, however the road for her to recover this function is a short one, with hydration and sleep. Most people with Acalculia would have a much longer road to recovery. As a sidebar, I also discovered that people who, from birth are unable to simply calculate numbers, are referred to as having Dyscalculia, not Acalculia.

It is something so weird to talk about. We all are human beings. How can a person be invisible? It all looks good in movies only. Let’s be visible and face the reality of life.
