ok so if you had a choice of

1. watching something
2. doing something
3. reading instructions on how to do something
4. listening to someone tell you how to do it ( without seeing them)

which ONE would you chose first , on its own?

and rank the 4 in order that you would learn best from

Well, 80% of people with AS have NLD, and people with NLD have visuo-spatial processing problems. It seems like many individuals with autism are visual learners however, so Aspies without NLD may be visual learners as well. Certainly the Aspie stereotype of being good with math, physics, etc., would fit with a visual learner profile.


The 20% who doesn't meet the criterias for NVLD (including me) are more visual thinkers. I can also solve math problems faster than 98% of the norwegian population.

Hi,
I have an AS son and have been looking into giftedness lately, and discovered about visual-spatial learners who are governed by right-brained learning (eg. think in pictures, are creative etc.) as opposed to auditory-sequential learners who tend to be more left-brained (think in words and are sequential). My AS son fits more into the visual-spatial category and I am wondering if a lot of his problems with school are due to his learning style clashing with an auditory-sequential style of teaching and learning. Does anyone know much about this area, and whether it is specifically related to AS?


I just remembered, Sedaka member is doing some research, she could give you more info.
