Did anyone else have a weird experience with math? I could always do it in my head, really fast, get the answer, it's correct... But then I couldn't show my work or prove it, meaning it was useless. I'm curious if this is an ADHD thing? If so, does anyone know why?

I can't do mental maths, but learned a neat trick to do maths using near 10s or 5s in my head.

Got into calculus for a year during college, but when I got disappointed by something my math teacher did just gave up on calculus. Suddenly zero motivation. I don't like how my brain is wired...
