My daughter has an overall IQ score that is low. She has brain damage that has affected her speech, memory, and processing speed. This basically means that she can read at grade level. She’s going into 6th grade.
However, in math she is awesome. She routinely scores 98% on math tests, and it says she is like performs at a high school level. She even gets answers to problems that she has never been taught. For example many years ago, when her older brother was learning negative numbers, she asked what they were. I just verbally told her. From that she could figure out addition and subtraction of negative numbers all on her own.
Anyway, everyone thinks my daughter should go to college because she is awesome at math. She’s just not great at reading/writing.
That’s exactly what I think about people who have glitches in their thought processes which cannot be measured by IQ.
It seems as strange to me as stamping our shoe size on our foreheads from the age of twelve and being known forever by that number.
Your daughter’s disability doesn’t appear to have affected her logic processing side of the brain. What may be more difficult might be emotions, feelings, and free floating ideas. Still she will be able to master them through familiarity and rote learning.
She stands to live a productive and positive future expecially with a cheerleader for a mom like you are - best wishes!!
Your daughter sounds like a true gift from God.
How wonderful that her designer would equip
her with a gift for math; a total compensation
for reading issues. God bless her. You’re a
great Mother, personally chosen by God to be
her advocate. What a privilege
God is good!
