I found my autistic-adhd wife's superpower....

She's a math whiz and I am the creative writer...

Got some stocks from Dad's Estate and I've just been letting it sit...Today I handed her the protfolio and told her to figure out where to liquidate for some extra cash...

DAMN! within 30 minutes, she had mapped out the trends, done math calculations, and is breaking down the specifics of what will do best etc... My Dad's spirit is like "That's my girl!"

She should go back to school and start a new career lol

equation but the answer can feed back into itself, and can create these amazing visuals on the computer with a graph with certain apps.

She might not get it yet...but if she becomes good at ?algebra: that might be the time to do it.

If you like "trippy, psychedelic" visuals, you should check it out. You'll see! 😄👍

I barely made it through algebra, trig, wtc. Torture!
Did pretty good in geometry bc I think my visual artistic skills helped! 😄
