In summary, a pharmacist with ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) explores advanced mathematics through various techniques such as visual aids, hands-on activities, and breaking down complex concepts into smaller steps. They may also rely on their strong attention to detail and pattern recognition skills to excel in advanced math courses. Additionally, pharmacists with ASD can benefit from accommodations such as extended time for exams and assignments to fully comprehend and apply mathematical concepts. Overall, with the right support and accommodations, pharmacists with ASD can successfully navigate and excel in advanced mathematics.

Hello, I already had an account with the PF, but then I suddenly didn't. Now I do again. I am a pharmacist likely with ASD. I am mostly high-functioning, but I am nonetheless subject to the obsessive-compulsive tendencies associated with ASD. For the past couple of years I have been gladly stuck with the obsessive desire to have a firm understanding of general relativity (and all the math that it's founded on). The last formal math course I ever took was single-variable calculus as a junior in high school. I currently have a decent grasp on most of the basics of tensor analysis and differential geometry, and almost no grasp at all on variational calculus. My obsession has taken me quite a ways on its own, but I still have far to go, and I'm sure the PF will be instrumental in guiding me to the end of this rabbit hole before bringing me into a new one.
