Learnt to speak English, Japanese and the piano by the time he was 6 (European kid) . Just through numbers and watching number videos. All he ever did was numbers. Drew numbers, watched vids about numbers. Put numbers on the piano etc etc. There were a million things that differentiated this kid. He'd wander off and just get on random buses to nowhere if the parents didn't notice. Didn't communicate. Etc etc. Him being autistic was as obvious as a slap in the face. | |

| Dec 16, 2019 at 13:46 | comment | added | Timur Shtatland | Does he have interest in math beyond paying attention to numbers around him? For example, counting, adding, noticing unusual properties of numbers or shapes? Could he have outstanding math abilities that may be useful to develop, provided they do not negatively affect the rest of his life, as in the example you described. This by itself does not answer your question but it is related and could be important in itself. | |
