Any nonmath, noncomputer, nonscience aspies...

Linguistics? That is awesome!

I'm an art/music/literature Aspie. From what I can gather, that's fairly rare. I know about five other Aspies and they're all math/science kids, except for one, who is a Poli-Sci major.

I'm a linguistics major - it's a lot of fun.

Of course, I'm also really into computer science, but I still consider it High Art.

I cannot do math to save my life. But on the plus side i'm a fantastic writer and a Journalism major (well technically i'm an English major because my college does not have Journalism as a major, only as a minor). I'm also a history and geography buff and know alot about the history of popular music. Basically I know enough math to get several of the XKCD comics that deal with math. Otherwise I can't do stuff like geometry, calculus (and for the longest time, division) etc. I'm actually surprised with my poor math grades in High School that I graduated with honors.

I totally hear you.

I love to study: literature, creative writing, philosophy, art history, music, psychology, sociology, and religious studies. I am solidly AS, but have always been fascinated by human stories.

I have also always been horrid at math and science, though I am okay with computers. And a disproportionate number of my crushes over the years have been computer science/physics/engineering guys. Perhaps I am trying to find my missing AS piece?

I'm kind of in between these two sort of archtypes. I like artsy stuff etc., but I really want to develope my math/science abilites. Which is why I am going to take physics next year but will probably fail - oh well! At least it will be more interesting than chem or bio [in my opinion]

I suck at math. I had no interest in it until I started building battlebots. The math I use building robots/doing hobby engineering stuff isn't as hard as the stuff I have to do in school, though. I'm still getting the hand of building robots, though. Due to my inherent weakness in math, it has taken me a long time to get up to speed and build competitive machines. I am in the process of building my first decent combat robot now.

I am a French/Spanish double major, I dropped calculus at midterm (why did I decide to take it?), and I enjoy my Keeping a Journal (art) class.

I have a current major in Government and Politics.

I hate math with a passion.

I took a remedial course in intro to college math for two semesters in my freshman year in college. (Because I have been to a non-public school for three years that do not actually have high school level math.)

Then I took a actual course in intro to math in my third semester and I barely passed. Yet I have better luck in intro to probability this semester, I got a 70, 69, and a 93 in my three exams. If I can pass my final math exam, my nightmare with math will be over.

To me, math is the most useless subject I have taken in my life.

I'm sort of non-math, non-computer, non-science. I like psychology a little. I like disasters, and writing about them, explaining them and what happens in them, though I also like the technical part of trying to survive them.

I'm technically one of those math/science Aspies since I'm majoring in Biotechnology, but really my interests are extremely diverse, ranging from the natural sciences to philosophy, history, political theory, future studies, linguistics, psychology, sociology, anthropology, system theory, spirituality and mysticism, music, art, architecture, engineering, mythology, and literature. I'm pretty much a modern Renaissance Man, a polymath interested in everything.

I'm a music therapy major; that sort of spans the gap between arts and sciences. The undergrad is a B.S. However, I got my undergrad in instrumental music education (BME). I'm working on my Master of Arts in Music Therapy now.

I can handle mathematical concepts and logical thinking, but as soon as you put it into formulas, my brain shuts down. And then I get stupid. I mean, I graduated undergrad with a 3.83. I took between 9 and 12 classes every semester on average. I'm not stupid. I just can't do math anywhere above fractions worth a darn.
