Will keep this short, son aged 7 waiting to be reassessed for autism after not enough points last time. Speech therapist says he has trouble with concept of before and after and positional language like for e.g point to the car after pointing at the house, he would point to the car then the house.
His maths homework has statements which he must tick if they are true or false.
There is picture of 2 shelves with toys on the shelves.
One of the statements is
the ball is to the right of the doll, now the ball is to the right of the doll so true but my son is saying no
and I think he is thinking from the dolls perspective it would be on the left of the doll so the statement is false
Or he could be misunderstanding the language but I thought if a child was autistic they wouldn't be able to think from the dolls perspective,
Any thoughts would be appreciated and also what your child would answer to that question
