Two stereotypes about us #Autistics is we like #PrimeNumbers and #EvenNumbers. I'm a “yes” and a “no”.

I do like Prime numbers and Odd numbers:
* 17
* 13
* 7
17 is very special.
* 17 is the 7th Prime
* 1 is an odd number
* 7 is an odd number
* 17 is an odd number
* 1 + 7 = 8, although an even number, it symbolises infinity and eternity, and us #ActuallyAutistics
13 is also special.
* A Prime
* An Odd
* A Fibonacci number
And depending on whom you ask:
* The 8th Fibonacci number
* The 7th Fibonacci number
Ironically:
* The anniversary of my first romantic relationship was on: 1997-07-17. It was my first love who picked that, and she had no idea what my favourite numbers are.
* My height is 175 cm or 5'7.5" to 5'8.5" (depending on whom you ask).
* Favourite time of the day: 07:00 and 19:00 (7pm). 19 is the 8th Prime. (There's 8 again.)
And I'm #OpenlyAutistic. _

How about you? What two #Autism stereotypes is you and not you?

I had not encountered such a stereo type before@MishaVanMollusq Usually depicted in some shows/films, where the autistic character prefers their food to be even and/or in prime, otherwise, they'll throw a fit or won't eat.
IRL, I've heard it said years back that people who love Primes, and if combined with Even numbers, are "more likely autistic". I guess it also stems from the stereotype that autistics are savant.

I was once involved with a Math Savant. He was also a sociopath and not on the Autism Spectrum.
Cold, manipulative and intellectually sexy .
When a boy tells you he’s an Ubermensch and a Master and can quite Also Spract Zarathustra it’s time to run, don’t walk, to the nearest exit .
He has a fetish for domination via Infintesimals and Set Theory .

I like prime numbers too. 1973 is a prime number. I was born in 1973.
@youronlyone @autistics @actuallyautistic @actuallyadhd @autism I don't see how anyone can NOT like primes

The relationship between numbers and my brain is one of mutual dislike.
My brain doesn’t do them. I swear I don’t even know what numbers are. As a kid, I learned mental arithmetics like a poem. I recited it in every test, for every exercise. What I wrote was mostly correct, but time was always up before I had finished even half of it…

maths was my poorest subject until we were allowed to use electronic calculators. Late 70s. And then suddenly, it became fun! I loved algebra so much. Being able to do maths with my good old friends: letters!
At that point, I chose maths as a favourite subject even. I loved how unambiguous and logical and elegant it was. Just don’t expect me to do numbers.

I can literally count to three, that’s it.
I’m very much a verbal thinker. I love learning languages. Drop me off somewhere and I’ll speak that language within three months, complete with proper local accent. No problem. Except for, of course, the numbers!🤣

@nellie_m Same! I'm poor with mental calculation, but I love the logic behind mathematics.
LOL. I remembered (Grade 9 and 10) some of my exams wherein I failed because my solutions were weird. I did arrive at the correct answers, but getting there was what's graded more. (And my teacher then understood the way I think, so she showed me why I was wrong by testing my way against other rules. I really appreciated she explained it.)
I don't like maths, but ended up being chosen as class maths teacher substitute in Grade 6. Our maths teacher saw something, I guess how I understand the logic behind it, even though I can't do mental calculations. (Don't even ask me about my multiplication table for 6, 7, 8, and 9. Hahahah.)
