Hi All, I have a 13 year old son on the autism spectrum who is very interested in blacksmithing and has been so for several years. He is very high functioning, extremely creative, but has an aversion to math. I'd love to be able to bring some practical application into our homeschool environment to teach him the basic math skills to help him be successful in blacksmithing and life. Ace is an out of the box kids who currently has no desire to go to college and that's totally okay with me. I know his hands on approach to life is how he best learns and to force too much on him at once is detrimental. Tonight he is taking his very first blacksmithing class at The Crucible in Oakland, California. Any helpful advice, especially concerning math, would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much! Teri
