DS was also impaired on every BRIEF aspect. His ADHD and anxiety symptoms are far more impairing than his social communication--which is only evident in certain environments and situations where he is expected to "code-switch," for lack of a better term.
For whatever reason, math has been his easiest subject, in terms of "activation." I think it's because he doesn't have to make a lot of interferences about what the heck he's supposed to be doing. He didn't do well with timed tests on "math facts", either, when he was younger--would get answers correct, but never finished. Now that the facts are more automatic, this never causes any trouble for him.
I asked him if he agreed that math is the easiest thing to "get started on" and he does. He also does fairly well with straightforward, worksheet, fill-in-the-blank stuff.
Writing may kill both of us.
