Not sure if this is in the right place, but anyway.

Basically I can't read analog clocks very well at all, I just look at them and the numbers mix up in my head and it takes me ages to read the clock. I've never been able to read them that well, but its only in the last few years that i've really struggled. In primary school, I was one of the quickest to read a clock. Now I struggle way more than I used to. Is there any form of clock dyslexia? Or something along those lines...

Does it happen with basic mathematics to, reading a spreadsheet of numbers or just for analog clocks?

Im dyslexic myself, it took me ages to learn how to tell the time :P (age 13 if im honest), really its the same question as inferno asked, is it with maths as well? if so it could be possible you have dyscalculia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dyscalculia)

My maths skills are mostly fine, but it did take me AGES to learn how to multiply and divide, and when I read a spreadsheet of numbers my eyes can get lost in what colum the numbers are in sometimes.

i couldn't read an analog clock for ages. not because i sturuggle with numbers (i don't), but because of the weird rules on the clock
