My son, the math whiz
Ds#1 who is autistic and wasn't never suppose to sit, crawl or walk and didn't talk until he was 6 1/2 just came downstairs and told us how many days each of us has been on this earth (from birth), right up to our birthdays.
Now this is no easy feat!!! Dh is 58 and I'm 54 so he had to figure lots of days.
Guess what - he figured it all in his head!!!! And the answers are right!!!!!

WOW that's great, I've read that many autistic kids have talents like that that other "normal" kids don't have. It's amazing how the mind works.
