Sounds like autism spectrum.
Can she talk, Does she communicate?

It would be difficult to pinpoint the problem. I think you guys should visit a doctor to know exactly what the problem is. Didn't you notice any signs of slow development while she was growing up?

Proper diagnosis needs to be carried out..

Hatonia, hi. I cant say what exactly your cousin's case is but its very delicate.

I think you guys should also consider more than just arithmetical means try language or even poems as an alternative, she might be a slow learner.

My nephew had difficulties grabbing or recollecting too when he was about three months past 4yrs but my bro bought him a tab for learning (playing too) and toy bricks for construction.

At the time he barely even spoke a word and i was scared but fast forward to 2ys later: now 6 the boy turned out very brilliant with deep assimilation nd retention not to mention he is a parrot too reciting anything from abc to 36 states n capital

all kids are not the same in terms of IQ, but at 12 such kid might need more than just number recollection. Get her educative videos that exposes children to language and extra-curricular activities while having fun Eg : barney

you never can tell, maths may not be her calling

hmm she is quite too young to have alzheimiers sha but lets not rule that out.

I think you should take her to see a doctor. Have you heard of ADHD (attention deficit hypeactivity disorder) ?
