The way I think is definitely neuro-atypical, though my linguistic skills are way above average and my math skills aren't slouching. Face recognition is average, and I'm terrible with remembering names unless I met someone name-first (like in a chatroom, or via DW or LJ), but I can pair people with skills or useful details pretty easily. Now that I'm fully Awakened, I get a boost with knowledge via nonlocal recall, but it comes at a nasty cost. I can either do magic at a high level (and thus stay Awakened) OR be a competent engineer and builder of things, apparently.. but we'll see how long that stays so. It looks like something to do with the body (built off someone else's pattern), rather than with my soul, so it might not stick later.
