I wonder how many aspies there are who have had to spend your life coping with the horrifying realization that you are not good at math, and are therefore unable to pursue any careers where mathematical prowess is a must, no matter how interesting they seem?

This website allows you to train yourself to be good at math. It is like a private tutor, but free. Until recently, I spent my entire life assuming that I was bad at math due to my upbringing and "education". After finding out about this website, I went from college level prealgebra through precalculus in 5 months while working a fulltime job.

You can do it too. It may take a while, but the only resource you need is adequate time. You can educate yourself better and faster than anyone so long as you have the support that you need when you need it.

(I also take concentrated antioxidant supplements to optimize my metabolism, which results in improved performance. I guess other people take coffee).

I will check that out. Have you ever seen sophia.org? I found it researching common core standards in my kid's school district switches over to it. They have more than just CCSS stuff. Mostly free courses but college credit courses have a small fee.

Have you noticed if there is a gap between your performance in algebra versus geometry? I ask because I've heard that in general aspie's have a hard time with abstract math like alg but can basically wreck the grading curve in a more concrete things like geometry or accounting. It lines up with my experience so just curious if anyone else has noticed it.

I use this website all the time.

It covers everything from elementary school arithmetic to graduate school physics.
