U2 drummer Larry Mullen Jr. reveals dyscalculia diagnosis and its impact on music counting

U2 drummer Larry Mullen Jr. has revealed he was recently diagnosed with dyscalculia, a learning disability that affects a person's ability to understand numbers and perform arithmetic. He described counting music bars as challenging as "climbing Everest." Mullen shared his experience in an interview with Times Radio, explaining that he has struggled with numbers throughout his life. He only received the diagnosis recently, despite being aware of his difficulties. He discussed his diagnosis while promoting a documentary about dyslexia, which he produced. Other musicians, including Cher and Florence Welch, have also spoken about their experiences with dyscalculia and dyslexia.
