I can barely count to a hundred without struggling, I keep forgetting what the next number is and repeat the number in my head to keep track of where I am until I remember what comes after 47.
Also just can't do mental math, I've memorised basic calculations rather than understanding them so if it's something I don't use a lot I start doubting myself and spend ages breaking it down without being able to keep track of it all.
I've heard of dyscalculia being common with ADHD people but my schools never tested for it.
