Mathematics performance, response time, and enjoyment of eighth-grade autistic students and their general education peers

Abstract: For autistic students receiving special education services, little is known about their relative strengths, weaknesses, and enjoyment across different math content areas; their overall math interest and persistence are also not well-studied. Using the 2017 eighth-grade National Assessment of Education Progress data, this study finds, relative to general education peers with the same math proficiency level, autistic students scored higher and exhibited faster speed in solving visuospatial problems (e.g. identif… Show more

“…Additionally, research indicates that students with dyslexia often find mathematics particularly challenging, further complicating the interplay between reading comprehension and math learning (Willcutt et al, 2013). Among students with autism, known for their heightened visuospatial skills, complexities arise in tackling math word problems that present intricate social scenarios (Wei et al, 2023).…”
