He can count just fine, though. It's multiplication he has trouble with ๐Ÿคท

Which is basically just counting a certain distance as long as it's just integers.

I remember the day I learned how multiplication worked.

I described it as adding repeatedly.

To me repeating something a finite number of times implies iterating in order which is basically counting. But that might be because I do a lot of maths and programming.
