Are you good at maths?

I have this preconceived idea that all Autistic people are really good at maths.  I am terrible at mental arithmetic or any kind of working out in my head!  Yet I can put together a mean spreadsheet, with formulas, forecasts, percentages whatever you like.  But ask me what something times something is?  Haven't a clue?

So I just wanted to see if that is odd for an Autistic person?

    I'm terrible at maths, especially when it comes to working things out in my head. I found I improved when I got a personal tutor in high school, but there were some concepts I just never managed to wrap my head around (like long division).
