>Do you have any advice about getting into a graduate program.
I am a sponteneous savant, "normal" before (but still an aspie who read theoretical physics books in middle school) and mat whiz after, so all my education was self taught.

School wasnt for me.

>undecided about what specifically
This, though, I could speak on a a little bit, as I do still interact with academics and the various fields.

I always advised against aimlessly getting degrees, if its "just for money", sure...but then enjoyment or fullfillment cant be a part of that equation. Wasted years that dont translate to career changes hurts. Ive seen so many people get degrees and never work the field its mind boggling. Baffles me, how someone could do that to themselves...

Totally depends on what youre aiming for or interetests, ...?
