It is funny I am rubbish at maths, and at spelling and grammar. Before I knew I was autistic I would explain it in the way I was good at history as you had evidence, buildings etc, geography look there is a mountain, science I was ok at as you could do experiments. Maths in particular is not physical, it is just a bung of symbols on a page. I could just never get maths, managed to get to 52 without really needing it.
No age 52, LOL. I remember being told at school that we had to learn maths as we would not always have a calculator on us. Mobile phones would have blown our minds in the 80's.
When I got my first calculator in about 1976 I thought, great! No need for remembering times tables, how to use a log book or a slide rule, and promptly forgot all of these things. While being adequate at maths in general, I have close to zero abilities in mental arithmetic. I never know if I have been given the correct change.
