The stereotype of Aspies being good with computers is becoming old fashioned now, as nearly everybody owns a computer now and most use it for all sorts of things. My NT peers know so much more about computers than I do. I just know all the basic stuff, even though I was brought up with computers just as much as they were.

And math? Let's just say my social skills are 10 times better than my math skills.

I voted "average". Actually I´m bad at math, because I am a bit dyslectic there, but I did make a average exam in highschool. I am not a wizz, but seem to have OK abilities with computer.

I've been told that I'm very good at maths by my teachers (almost scored an A on my very first practice A Level maths paper) but I'm not sure. My mental arithmetic skills are very fast and I can produce an answer but have no idea how I calculated it. I can look at a question and immediately come up with an answer.

As for computers, if I put my mind to it, then I can learn computing quickly, particularly coding.
