Hello

Hello 933. I have to admit I am curious as to how a number such as 933 can apply to clothing styles. Hope you're having a great day so far.
 
Hello 933 and welcome. Also curious. What would 577 look and feel like? And why did you name yourself 38 if you're 933 today? Can you give us an example of how you think in numbers?
 
Partial to numbers myself. Everything in life can be exlained in numbers and mathematics. To me , l see percentages in everything but numbers are friendly to me. l don't understand it myself but it doesn't really matter.

That's super interesting to me. Numbers to me are almost inscrutable.

I always did well in high school and college math and physics because the theories made sense to me and I could use a calculator. I was garbage at math in elementary school because they expected you to do it all in your head. To this day I still use my fingers for simple math if there is no calculator available. I think the reason for my difficulties in math is due to the deficiencies I have in visualizing mental imagery but that's just my current hypothesis.
 
I have a pretty complicated numerology system that I follow, based on the number 4. It seems that there is a subset of auties who are very obsessed with numbers. The first man diagnosed with autism, Donald Triplett, gave everybody in his little Mississippi hometown their own number, and categorized them in his head using that number. I have always had lots of clocks in my abode, and mostly digital (numeric, I think they're called in Europe) ones. I personally was always unable to comprehend conceptual mathematics, starting with algebra, but was always good with add-subtract-multiply-divide type stuff.
