The media gives the idea that autism imparts with it some list of special creative or analytical skills unavailable to those without the condition.
I thought I'd like to share mine with the group.
I have a photographic, detailed and precise memory.
This special power seems to be limited to those occasions where I've screwed up, felt embarrassed, shamed or insulted or slighted. For these I have full 20-20 HD photorealistic clarity. I can literally re-live events and conversations from decades ago and feel the raw shame as if it was today. For most other practical purposes, my memory is abysmal.
Anyone else have special skills they can attribute to autism?
