Not sure if anyone can help with this but here goes.

DS 10 has recently got a statement (he has ASD with lots os sensory issues) Now he is getting help at school he has really settled and is actually enjoying school. We had a TAC meeting last night and all seems to be going well. We have found that now he is more settled in school and we not "firefighting" the effects of school at home we are able to do more educational things at home to help him catch up.


Verbally he is exclellent and although the content of his comprehension is great he just cannot get punctuation, capital letters etc. when it comes to maths it is just so frustrating. We have been doing percentages and fractions I.e. what is 75% as a fraction and we he tell me 3/4. I can then ask whatis 3/4 as a percentage and he would not have a clue. We can go through a list of numbers to work out percentages and he will do quite a few without any problems at all and then out of the blue he does not know what they are. I just cannot understand what the issue is. I have asked the specialist teacher, SENCO and his class teacher but they do not know. I know he has the knowledge I just cannot understand why there are times when he just does not have a clue.

Has anyone had this issue and can you point me in the direction of what it may be.

Thanks so much.

  • I have severe problems with Maths. I can handle petty cash but can't do big sums, and financial information frightens me, so my Dad handles all of my finances. I still struggle to fill in cheques, despite being shown how to do so on numerous occasions.

    I have always had Maths and shape problems, as well as visual-spatial difficulties. However, I learnt to read very quickly, but did not know the alphabet until I was over 7 years old. An educational psychologist report showed, when I was 10 years old, that I had a massive discrepancy between my verbal and performance abilities, and they thus called me 'an enigma' - this was years before my AS diagnosis.
