Initial numeration is part of the math skills that every student must have. However, children with autism do not have good initial numeracy skills. This study aims to analyze the initial numeracy skills of students with autism. This research is a case study. The subjects of this study were 2 students with autistic disorder class III, namely boys (D) and girls (N). Data collection techniques used in this study included interviews, observation, and test sheets related to the initial numeracy skills of students with autism. Data analysis techniques are carried out through several stages, namely data collection, data reduction, data display, and drawing conclusions. The results showed that D was able to recognize limited numbers in units 1–9 independently and was able to add and subtract limited units with assistance. N has not been able to recognize numbers and perform simple arithmetic. However, N can imitate writing unit numbers.
