I'm twice exceptional with dyscalculia but my mind still runs too fast and it's resulted in an interesting mental design I've never encountered in another person before.

My vizualization skills and ability to view possibilities in a statistical way are really refined. I can imagine a perfect object from all angles. I can eat fruits from memory the same way I do when I actually eat. (The same sensations). I can predict most things vaguely on a long-term path.

I can imagine giant mental maps full of everything I've ever learned.

I can also imagine all my thoughts as vizualizations which I do to track how my brain works. Every part of my brain has a sensation and a visual. I can truly feel my thoughts and I know exactly how my mind works.

As a result, since I was a little kid I've manipulated my own mind and can do impossible mental configurations. (It's really complicated and a life long project)

For example to describe how I train my mind (most simple) , I spin things in my mind, but change it's directions in the moments it's most difficult until I can do that easily. It makes my mind go way faster suddenly.

The only issue is that people think I'm faking my total mental control and they soon learn I can get even more intense about it. (You are always happy, huh?) People keep testing me but because I'm really good with it, it causes a lot of mess. Not to mention most people notice my dyscalculia and don't notice the sharp and observant giftedness that exists with it.

If anyone else has this, how do you coexist with people without startling them?

I've begun to feel like my mind has gotten too strong for most people. Resilient to a fault!
