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?
Pure Maths was my favourite subject at school. Algebra just makes so much sense, creating rules, abstracting the real world out into the world of numbers and formulae to manipulate at will. I work in Computing now and everyday is algebra and variables. Big smiley face.
