Autism and Algebraic Concepts...

not always like cookies and milk, coffee and cream - pick your metaphor.  I SUCK at math...ok, "suck" is too kind a word...I am stunningly AWFUL at math.  When you have to get your 12 year old to help you, help your 10 year old (with Aspergers, no less!) do their math homework, you know you're in over your head.  This is usually my husbands "milieu." Everything else, I'm solid on.  God help me, he's only in 5th grade...

    It may be a bit late, but Ron Aharoni's "Arithmetic for Parents: A book for Grownups about Children's Mathematics" might help a bit.

    Oh... and can I rant about homework for 17 seconds? If the teacher is sending home homework that the child needs help at home to do, there's something wrong. A lot wrong.

    I'm agin homework before 8th grade, anyway.
