U2’s Larry Mullen reveals dyscalculia diagnosis: ‘I can’t count, I can’t add’ ‘Counting bars is like climbing Everest,’ said drummer.
According to the British Dyslexia Association, around six per cent of people have dyscalculia, which is defined as a specific and persistent difficulty in understanding numbers, which can lead to a diverse range of difficulties with mathematics.
Mullen, whose son is also dyslexic, appears in the forthcoming 2025 documentary Left Behind, which follows five mothers attempting to establish the first public school for children with dyslexia in New York City.
The Irish drummer and co-founder of the band, 63, recently explained that “counting bars is like climbing Everest”, as he discussed his diagnosis publicly for the first time.
U2’s Larry Mullen Jr has revealed he has been diagnosed with dyscalculia, which is a form of dyslexia that affects his understanding of numbers.
