Trying to see on how to make him learn and use skills where he will be productive for himself and the society.
We have tried to provide speech therapy for a long time. But something in language doesn't kick in. Have exposed him to social skills group (small and large). Friends have tried to interact with him, he has difficulty responding. So the friends gets frustrated after sometime.
Very interesting. Is it possible for us reach out to you understand the ideas better? Didn't see contact info in profile. I have my email in my profile.
You are right, he loves math but his language is weak. Trying to see on how to leverage that interest. At some point language is needed to understand and solve math problems where he gets lost.
As an aside, he has an obsession with prime numbers. If allowed, he would sit down and play with prime number calculator forever to see if a number is prime and look up its prime factors. Now, given a number up to 10000, he can tell the factors from memory.
