I consider that sort of problem more as a spatial problem than a maths problem
because you can break it down into "shapes" (for want of a better term, I'm not a synaesthete). Thinking of it like that rather than trying to find 48x13 suddenly makes it much easier.

10x48 = 480, 3x50-6=144 etc

I agree, this sounds more like autism than synaesthesia.

I'm on the internet, obviously I'm autistic.
