Basically, I'm autistic and I'm actually good at maths. I'm good with the numbers;however sadly with the language I'm not and because ALL the questions are asked verbally it confuses me. I don't understand contextual implications, I don't know how to pick out the data from the questions either because I don't know which part is important.
I asked the teacher if she could translate it for me, but she just said that I could learn all this verbal, vague, colloquial talk. So, I've just been looking at the answers on the internet.. I feel so guilty, but down-graded because all this abstract rubbish in the language confuses me so I never understand the maths question . _." I am good at maths! I am. It's just.. HOW DO I UNDERSTAND LANGUAGE? The Conventions? The contextual implications. It's horrible! I hate it. I always fail because I can't understand what a question is telling me because it's so vague and conventional. What should I do, continue cheating till A level( because then they can't have this vague bullsh*t.) Or just I don't know.. fail and go to set 5 even though I'm good at maths? I really like maths and physics too, it really depresses me.

Your English seems perfectly fine to me so I don't see how that could possibly be a deterrent to your academic performance...
The best answer I can give to you is to PERSEVERE. English, as with any discipline, requires practice to perfect. If you aren't practicing any of the assigned math questions (ones that involve word problems), then it would make sense for you not to get it on the test. However, in the case that you actually do, do your homework and are not understanding any of it, then my advice would be to UNDERLINE the key words. And this, along with many other things, can be achievable through practise!

I noticed that your question was in Czech Republic. I'm not sure if that means you live in Europe or just placed it there because you wanted to. If you're live in the United States, then you should have an IEP (Individual Education Plan) because you have Autism, which falls under Special Education. This should allow you to get services in English from tutors or other teacher who can help you with the questions that you're struggling to comprehend. One of the commonalities for people who have Autism is that they don't understand social cues or conversations very well. What you do ultimately is up to you. Language is one of those things that you have to learn from the day you're born. It's not like you can simply grasp it overnight. You can try and get Rosetta Stone and learn English this way.
