Although I tested positive for AS on the quiz I am not sure of my status. I have trouble interacting socially and my math skills are not good. In college I stuck with math up into advanced calculus and finally fled the subject as I have poor instinctive feelings in the area. My talents are in visual arts, some technology, writing and poetry.
Doesn't seem like anything out of the ordinary in regards to AS. I've actually heard that some people with AS may have trouble with math because it may be too abstract for some of them. Of course, if math isn't your strong point you shouldn't be too worried, as most people tend to have difficulty with it, you are not alone. Given your strengths, you are much better suited to liberal arts or literature or something like that.

I started this thread to comment that I have participated in many threads in other sites but have discovered no other site with such a variety of intellectual richness to match this one. Of course there are people here who are a bit on the nutty side (as I am myself) but at least here there is a depth of understanding and background knowledge from most posts and a reasonable amount of internal comprehension of the problems. It's a good place to investigate.
Well, which sites do you refer to? If you are talking about other AS sites then yes I agree with you. Most AS sites out there are either just support sites for parents or tend to be lacking in depth or content. This place seems to attract a fair share of intellectuals, which is one of the reasons why I signed up.
