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 had not encountered such a stereo type before

@MishaVanMollusq Usually depicted in some shows/films, where the autistic character prefers their food to be even and/or in prime, otherwise, they'll throw a fit or won't eat.

IRL, I've heard it said years back that people who love Primes, and if combined with Even numbers, are "more likely autistic". I guess it also stems from the stereotype that autistics are savant.

I was once involved with a Math Savant. He was also a sociopath and not on the Autism Spectrum.
Cold, manipulative and intellectually sexy .
When a boy tells you he’s an Ubermensch and a Master and can quite Also Spract Zarathustra it’s time to run, don’t walk, to the nearest exit .
He has a fetish for domination via Infintesimals and Set Theory .
