What are your special talents?

I've read before that Autistic people can have special talents. Do you know what yours is yet?

Mine are singing, doing multiple voices and acting, all of which I do extremely well so I am told Slight smile

I look forward to hearing yours.

  • Greetings to All. Regarding "Special talents"... I think the Official Term being sought here is a "SAVANT": 'Autistic Savant', "Savant Syndrome"... that sort of thing.

    Have fun looking that word up. But best of all is to have fun finding out Stengths & Positives for Oneself, & and then using that to ensure Happiness /Saftey /Security ...

    Slight smile

  • Thanks. That's a talent. According to Wikipedia the common clade is infraclass Neognathae. So, yes, basically 'birds'.

    I wish I knew more birds - I like to recognise a wagtail, but people I know are getting excited about nuthatches and blackcaps, and I don't think I'd recognise them...

  • Let's see: Motacilla alba, order passeriformes; Anser anser, order anseriformes. They're not very closely related.

    Troubleshooting sounds very useful.

  • I don't see why it shouldn't count. What's the Linnean name for the pied wagtail? Goose? What's the biggest clade they have in common?

    I suppose my special talent is troubleshooting, systems thinking, summarising lots of information and other abstract mental abilities, except sticking to the point.

  • Does memorise scientific names of animals and plants count?

  • Oh this question puts a lot of pressure ..  I don't have  a flashy special talent..:)

    But it's good to learn that you have one.
