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. ^_^

wait no. now i NEED to know about your multiplication tables for 6,7, 8, and 9. When i was taught everyone just memorized this big grid o numbers from 1 to 12. How did you do it?

@masukomi

Memorizing that grid of numbers didn't work for me, so I worked out other methods.
x9, for example, I count down from 9x9=81. 9x6=
81, 72, 63, 54 - ah, yes, 54.

@ScottSoCal @masukomi @youronlyone @nellie_m @autistics @actuallyautistic @actuallyadhd @autism @pathfinder fun trick, the lower times tables for 9 have products that would total 9 if the digits were added together and the first digit is the multiplier minus 1

9x1=09 (1-1=0, 9-0=9, 0+9=9)
9x2=18 (2-1=1, 9-1=8, 1+8=9)
9x3=27 (3-1=2, 9-2=7, 2+7=9)

This works up through 10!

Memorization was the bane of my life as a gestalt style learner 😅

@Waiting4Thunder

I never noticed that before - that's actually kind of cool.
The addition part is also true for 9x12=108.
