I have heard of people with Asperger's being bad at math, but it seems like all of them like science. (OK, not l[i][ALL/i]) However, I don't like it to much. I find it kind of boring and sort of hard. Chemistry and Physics are my worst.

Is there any other people here who find science hard?

I LOVE SCIENCE.
My God.
Chemistry and Biology are the easiest; Biology the most interesting.
Not too into physics, though I'm about to begin reading a Feynman book. Hopefully he'll change my mind.

I've always loved science, and have done well with most of it. But physics is where I've always had trouble (even though I find it interesting), because that's where a lot of math comes in.

Biology is probably my weakness in the science field,sound in chemistry.Astronomy/Astrophysics is my best scientific asset.

Biology rocked. Chemistry sucked, but the instructor didn't like me and I didn't like him.

I've always loved science. I used to do these little science experiments and leave them around the house, when I was in my early teens.

I LOVE SCIENCE!

Physics (includes astronomy), chemistry, geology, biology, neuroscience.
I love it all!
Been spending all day watching discovery science.

I was bad at everything in school except art.

I loved math and scienceand anything that involved problem solving. I liked Chemistry and Physics because it involved more problem solving than Earth and Space Science and Biology which included more reading.

I was good at social studies and languages as well.

English and Art/Music/Theatre elective classes were the hard for me because I've never been able to understand or appreciate literature and the arts. I am extremely logic/mathematical minded and do not have an ounce of creativity.

Gym class and Drivers Ed were the hardest for me.

I like chemistry so much even my dog is a lab.
I'm trying to turn fleas into Gold. Surely you've heard the legend of the Golden Fleas?

After the physical sciences and math, everything else is tidildy-winks.

Not a big fan of science. Or math for that matter. I'm more into psychology, literature, and art.
Science wasn't really hard for me, though; it just didn't excite or inspire me. Biology was fine. I liked Anatomy and Physiology. Chemistry was horrible, my least favorite class to date. Didn't do physics because it was optional.

Preferred computing, physics, and math in high school. Everybody expected me to study computing, but I changed my mind at the last minute for multiple different reasons.

Ended up doing a PhD in molecular biology. Guess you could say I like science ;)

Not me. I've always done well in science and physics was my best subject...probably because I obsessed about kinematics as a child.

Is it possible that you've just had bad physics teachers? I've had some bad ones but thankfully we had a good textbook with many illustrated examples.

I am curious though, what subjects do interest you?

I really like sciences :D
That said, asperger may tend to have some sciences as their interests, as it offer a lot of informations to memorise, as well as many of sciences being concrete and with little abstract elements and without the need of undertsnad social rules.
It don't necessary aspies are better at grasping sciences though, particulary abstract disciplines like modern physic that may possibly prove troublesome for some.
Also, there is a lot of very intelligent peoples on WP and on aspies forums in general, in a greater proportion that we should theorically be found among general or asperger populations; which mean a lot of peoples tending toward intellectual interests, like sciences.

It depended on the way it was taught for me.

It made sense if I watched it in a documentary.

Teachers, not really.
