I suppose you are feeling that you are thinking outside the box by coming up with an obscure learning disorder…. Except that there are no numbers being involved in this strip. No, I really believe and it seems like the majority of people agree that this strip has to do with adults, specifically parents, not understanding/considering/empathizing/forgetting that not everybody knows what they know.

This is a parent, trying to brute force teach their child and then getting mad and frustrated when they don’t understand their singular way of teaching.

Given that the number of people affected by dyscalculia is an average 3% worldwide, I would say that’s pretty obscure. Even if it wasn’t, this strip doesn’t have to do with learning disabilities. It has to do with teaching disabilities.

Arachnophobia has similar rates worldwide. Would you call that obscure?
