Two stereotypes about us #Autistics is we like #PrimeNumbers and #EvenNumbers. I'm a “yes” and a “no”.

I do like Prime numbers and Odd numbers:
* 17
* 13
* 7

17 is very special.
* 17 is the 7th Prime
* 1 is an odd number
* 7 is an odd number
* 17 is an odd number
* 1 + 7 = 8, although an even number, it symbolises infinity and eternity, and us #ActuallyAutistics

13 is also special.
* A Prime
* An Odd
* A Fibonacci number

And depending on whom you ask:
* The 8th Fibonacci number
* The 7th Fibonacci number

Ironically:
* The anniversary of my first romantic relationship was on: 1997-07-17. It was my first love who picked that, and she had no idea what my favourite numbers are.
* My height is 175 cm or 5'7.5" to 5'8.5" (depending on whom you ask).
* Favourite time of the day: 07:00 and 19:00 (7pm). 19 is the 8th Prime. (There's 8 again.)

And I'm #OpenlyAutistic. ^_^

I can literally count to three, that’s it.

I’m very much a verbal thinker. I love learning languages. Drop me off somewhere and I’ll speak that language within three months, complete with proper local accent. No problem. Except for, of course, the numbers!🤣

3/3

@youronlyone @nellie_m @pathfinder I've managed to learn French, and a little Russian. I can read out loud some text in either of those language, until I hit a number. In the case of Russian it's because numbers have case and I'm never quite sure which case the situation calls for. In French, it's because the way French treats the numbers 70-99 (and numbers that end in 70-99) is a regular clown show.
