I have the same thing going on
what I am good at I am very good at like art, poetry, painting, fiber art, creatively crazy unorthidox solutions to problems
I been told that I am a creative savant...and I can learn most types of art in a much shorter time than most others, except those that require physical strength of the hands, like using a pottery wheel. I actually have very nimble hands from using sign language, but they are not very strong.
what I am bad at, I am phenomily bad at...like ....if you havent noticed........spelling, and math and executive functioning.
I am totally impaired when it comes to math...ppl start rattling off numbers to me and I just get mental whiplash.
and exectutive functioning is my worst hang up. I am just flat disabled when it comes to executive functioning
but we are like that, what we are good at, we are very good at, and what we are bad at, we a just plain terrible.
There is no such thing as moderation in the ASD mind. One extreme or the other.
