What IS "Olympiad math"?

Never heard of it before.


A high school competition based on algebra, number theory, combinatorics and geometry. The people who do the best in each country's selection rounds go through to the International Mathematical Olympiad.

I think a significant part of the problem with autistic people's attempts to read and process body language, facial expressions etc. is that we try to be too systematic about it when people's behaviour is often pretty hard to generalise, and trying to apply an externally devised system of rules will...

Just wondering since I've often heard that people who get to the later stages of their countries' maths Olympiad selection processes are disproportionately on the spectrum. I really enjoy Olympiad maths and dabble in the informatics and linguistics olympiads too, but haven't got as far in those (I'v...

The question in the thread title has been answered very well already, but I also feel like my "NT self" is just who I am at this point. Even if I were talking to another autistic person, I doubt my eye contact, body language or tone of voice would change at all compared to how I talk to NT...

Honestly, I think part of the reason why some autistic people don't feel comfortable and accepted in society is this kind of victim mentality. There's no inherent irreconcilability between NTs and autistic people; both parties need to adapt in order to create the best possible relationship and a soc...

Hey everyone! I haven't had much opportunity to interact with other people on the spectrum since I go to a mainstream school (I'm in year 13 in England), and I thought it might be nice to have a place to talk about autism-related stuff when I feel like it. I'm the type of person who's learnt to blen...
