Mathematical ability of students with Asperger syndrome and high-functioning autism

Abstract: This article reviews studies investigating cognitive ability and academic achievement of students with Asperger syndrome (AS) and high-functioning autism (HFA). Particular emphasis is placed on the mathematical ability of people with AS/HFA. A preliminary analysis of empirical data is presented. Findings indicate that: (1) the majority of individuals with AS/HFA have average mathematical ability; (2) the majority of individuals with AS/HFA have a significant but clinically modest math weakness; (3) some indivi… Show more

“…Mayes and Calhoun (2008) examined cognitive profiles in children (6-14 years old) with HFA (N = 54) and found that these children's numerical operations ability was similar to the normed population. Chiang and Lin (2007) reviewed studies investigating cognitive ability and academic achievement of students with AS and HFA and found that on average the arithmetic ability of the individuals in these studies was below the normed population.…”

“…This was applied in dimensional models (BurgerVeltmeijer, 2006b(BurgerVeltmeijer, , 2007(BurgerVeltmeijer, , 2008Lawson, Baron-Cohen & Wheelwright, 2004 Since TE students in general and IG+ASD students in particular are characterized by very discrepant S&Ws 6 (e.g. Cash, 1999;Chiang & Lin, 2007;Gilger & Hind, 2008), for example spectacular gifts in math in co-occurrence with disabled social communication, we viewed that dimensional assessment pre-eminently could be of help in profiling the students capacities and thus reduce premature biased labelling. Labelling might still be necessary, however, for example to acquire educational and psychological funding and facilities.…”

“…Боль-ные с синдромом Аспергера нередко отличаются чрез-мерной концентрацией внимания на определенных занятиях, что также свойственно многим одаренным детям [27]. В частности, результаты исследования, проведенного в Австралии [19] и посвященного изуче-нию математических способностей у школьников и студентов с аутистическим расстройством (синдро-мом Аспергера и высокофункциональным аутизмом), показали, что аутизм может сочетаться с математиче-ской одаренностью. С другой стороны, у детей с ода-ренностью и трудностями обучения риск проблем, связанных с общением, еще более повышен, и они могут попадать в своеобразную социальную изоляцию в связи с тем, что не находят понимания в среде «обычных» детей (а также нередко и среди детей с трудностями обучения без одаренности или среди одаренных детей без трудностей обучения), не могут правильно выстраивать и поддерживать гармоничные отношения с учителями и одноклассниками (а также с начальниками и коллегами по работе во взрослой жизни).…”
