He can count just fine, though. It's multiplication he has trouble with ๐คท
Which is basically just counting a certain distance as long as it's just integers.
That's like saying algebra is just spelling with a twist ๐

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.
