Some people with autism have problems with math; others are math geniuses. Albert Einstein was one of the smartest people who ever lived, and he always said something like this, "Do not be concerned with your difficulties with math. I can assure you mine are far greater than yours." Just because you may not be good at math, it doesn't mean you are smart. Some people are smart, but they don't have common sense. I'm not sure common sense is very common. My grandmother used to call it good sense. The smartest people can do the dumbest things. Math is a mechanical aptitude anyway. People skills are far more important if you asked me. Don't worry about math. If you are so concerned, practice, practice, practice. Sometimes I think something is hard, but if I try hard enough, I can get it, then I wonder why I thought it was so hard in the first place. Some people can do higher math than others, but that doesn't necessarily mean they are smarter. You never know until you try. You can always try harder or stick to the levels you can do.
