Which was/ is your strength in school and in your life? Are you stronger in sciences/ maths or in language/ writing/ literature?
There is a stereotype of aspies being best at science but it seems a lot of us have strengths in language as well.
Even if you are good at both, if you happen to be stronger in one over the other, select your STRONGEST ability.
I am much better at language than math/ science, but my sister is equally good at both. |

I'm very good at language and science, but not as good at pure maths. So I've said I'm equally good but I'm not really sure about that answer.

Well I had a love of Maths when I was at school and was obsessed with science I could also from time to time excel at art. No good at that wordy stuff though, failed O level English 4 times.

| My strengths are language and verbal logic. I think in specific words. |

I would have too say I like them all but my favirout is math, I like books but mostly in a phylosiphical way, but I cant say I did not like doing poems and shakespear in school, but I am no good at makeing them. Language is good, and I get interested in some of its usage, mostly with it may be conected to the behaviour, science is alright, I like to know things but the grit of it bores me. I like different parts of them, and each of the pieces I like build up one big strength.

i love to write but lately I don't do it very often...I really need/should/wan to but I just don't feel motivated I guess..
i'm great with language...i was exempt from both required college english courses after taking my placements testing.....passed math by 6 points 
but I'm not horrible at math if I really study....and I love math & science (better at math than science) .....I'd really like to get better at both....good stuff. I am particularly interested in quantum physics...and just physics in general....and biology. The origination of numbers fascinates me...mmmmmnumbersssss
i like reading literature that has much science involved...i.e. science fiction.
i should start a sci-fi story.
motivation! hazaa!

i concur.
do the same thing as you describe it. yep. with different interests plugged in where necessary (such as I prefer writing........and language...but the 'grit' is oh so boring.....i like to take all the parts of 'things' i am interested in and try to moosh them all into a story or idea or some sort...doesn't always work..) |

In school/classes: (am female)
Super awesome at: Biology, Chemistry and literature, native languages.
Devastating at: foreign languages, maths and physics.
I was doing equally good at English/German and Biology, which means I was equally bored at all 3 subjects because I knew all that the teachers taught.
