My son with AS is great at math, as long as he's working with numbers and symbols. When I try to introduce word problems he melts down. We have tried various approaches with step-by-step explanations of how to decipher word problems and he can solve some on a really good day. Does anyone have a good resource for working through word problems for a kid on the spectrum? If not, is it worth the meltdowns and headaches, or should I just skip word problems, knowing that he does understand the actual math concepts?
