I understand that the scentist had dicover a new disease called "Dyselxia" that I think it is a celebral disease and it work like the difficult showing knowledge in math.

It is very interesting that the people has difficult to understand about math skills, it could be a desease.

Why Am'I interested about this article? I am very interested this article a lot.
Also I'm think that how could a disease produce difficulties with a math knowledge.
I thought that the people who do not understand math it is normal, not for a disease.

What is my connexion between my life and the article? Actually I'm starting thinking that I have this desease because I have some difficulty to understand math.
but I'm sure that I can beat it If I work harder in my life.
