A Proud Math Student
This is Zoe, who studies math with me. She has come so far this year and last! I’m proud of her hard work, and wanted to show you her system for multiplying. It is often hard for her to remember all the times tables, but she understands the idea of multiplication, so she uses this visual system to structure it for herself. She writes the numbers 1-10 vertically, then makes dots for the numbers she is ‘counting by’, so she can actually count them if she gets lost skip-counting. Its not perfect yet, but she is working so hard that it won’t be long before it’s flawless!

- About Me: I am neurotypical, and have known people with autism for about 10 years. I really enjoy working with a wide variety of thinkers, including people with autism. I believe that people with autism have a lot to offer the world, and so do the rest of us. My vision for the future includes neurotypical people appreciating (socially and financially) the autistic mind. You can follow me on twitter @empowerautism. I have a blog at www.empowerautism.com.

I've heard of people on the spectrum have difficulties with the times tables...but I don't really understand it. Can you explain why this is a stumbling block? I would've thought the literalness countability of the concepts would make things like multiplication a natural strength for Aspies.
