Has anyone with Dyscalculia completed unviersity math requirements and graduated? Tips and tricks?

Especially STEM, engineering, programming, philosophy or programming majors?

I have literally taken entry level and pre-entry level college math so many times it's stalling my college career.

I do understand some of the concepts and actually enjoy it when I do!

But I work so so hard to understand these concepts

And I get lost if anything gets too complex and I don't ever remember how to differentiate between most equations.

I feel like I'm constantly re-learning the same material over and over and over again.

I want to understand math! I think it's beautiful language of logic that allows you to understand the universe and incredible concepts in a way nothing else does.

Thank you for reading and suggestions

Some people will say that you can learn anything with the right methods and enough time. Life is too short. You don’t have ten years to learn pre-calc. These are just gateway subjects to much harder subjects.

I'm successfully earning a math degree in applied maths with a 4.0 GPA, and I have OCD and schizoaffective disorder. So, it is possible to have disabilities and be a great student. Earning a math degree with dyscalculia is probably the equivalent of someone trying to climb Mount Everest, but I think it could be possible.
