Autism and showing work in math

[@Blackafternoon]

I dropped out of high school because I was bored! We need to find class rooms that can keep up with our IQ ❤ YOU GOT THIS! KEEP POSTING I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!
People need to learn more about Autism and the best way is for us to teach them directly!

[@romanfrommylifewithautism4820]

I agree. Do you do videos?

[@ElevatorWasher5000]

Hey I literally have understood every single math problem and the answers to them but then they require you to show your work and then I slow down because of distractions

When you blame autism for every little thing everyone has do deal with.
Autism porblerms.

When an autistic person is looking for creative ways to talk about autistic struggles and all people do is judge him.. autism problems.

@@stringsandthreads why do you think so little of autistic people? Supporting their delusions on top of the autism doesn't help anyone. Likely more harmful.

[@romanfrommylifewithautism4820]

I understand that everyone has to deal with these struggles. If you don’t understand why this affects an autistic person differently, then you need to get educated on autism. I do these shorts to show the struggles in a silly way. I’m sorry you don’t get that.

My son just turned two, and he still doesn't say any words at all. He often spins the wheels on his toys, instead of playing with them imaginatively, and he likes flip light switches on and off, over and over again. He sometimes seems very affectionate and connected to myself and his mom, but he also sometimes seems completely oblivious to human beings. We're waiting for our appointment with a specialist, to see what his diagnosis might be.
Did you exhibit any of those behaviors as a toddler? Because you're speaking clearly and look to be functioning in society. I wonder if a young boy with autism can grow up to be independent and successful.
I'm scared for my son.

[@stringsandthreads]

I’m Roman’s mom. He didn’t talk until after he turned 2, and never wanted anything to do with toys. My best advise is to get into as many therapies as you can as soon as you can. Roman had speech and OT therapies since 2 as well as social skills therapy at our local autism center.
Roman is in high school and doing very well. I’ll encourage him to explain to you how he’s doing now.
Have hope, and treat your child as if he’s the smartest, most loving kid in the world.

BEAT HIM HARDER

[@romanfrommylifewithautism4820]

Everyone is different, but I had a lot of help and therapies. I’m in high school, and in advanced classes. I really don’t have any friends because I’m different in my own way, but I like to learn and hope to go to college.

Thanks for replying, Roman. Really glad to hear that you're doing well in school. That's so important. And I realize that being social and having friends is extremely important to people your age, but I do find myself wondering how strong of an appetite you have for socializing. Are you comfortable being a bit of a loner, or do you just have a hard time connecting with people? I ask because I personally enjoy being a loner. I find solitude to be enjoyable. But I do wonder about my son. We've seen him around other toddlers, and he shows mixed signs of interest. On the one hand, he'll play with other kids a little, but then he defaults back to hanging out by himself, exploring objects instead of people. He's extremely interested in any wheels he can spin and any buttons he can push.
As an aside, are you thinking about college, etc? I'm in the process of starting a college savings account for my son, but I really don't know to expect for him in the future. His autism "symptoms" seem fairly pronounced, but he's definitely a smart kiddo on the math/engineering side of things.
