I never really saw my large amount of historical knowledge as a special ability, but now I kind of see it as my gift that I have. I am obsessed with history, watch a lot of documentaries, and also research historical events that I do not know about yet.

When did you learn that you had a special ability?

Curious as always,

When someone behind me said "tokushu kouka hatsudou!" Not sure what they said, but I suddenly felt something weird moments before realizing what was happening.


.......lame jokes aside, I'm not sure I've yet found mine.

I don't think I have a special ability.
There's nothing I can do that other people can't.

I don't remember. I just keep discovering new abilities people around me don't seem to posses. They just ask me where I learned it and call me gifted when I say "I never did".

Recently it happened with paper wickers.
One moment I was staring, trying to comprehend what my classmates are doing(I was late for classes). 5 minutes later I was teaching them a better way to do it and how to make other things.

Intelligence and good fine motor skills are my bless.

My ability to do some things most everyone else can do, end up being my special abilities.

If I have it, then I still do not realize which really was.
If I don't, who knows what it is? :lol:


Regardless, someone else could had done better or worse. Sometimes I questioned why someone would fuss about it. :|


If one insists, the closest I'd get with the less than typical-aptitude:
For my terrible verbal aptitude (despite being a qualified aspie), it just leads that language itself is unreliable in my part. That my 'best' ones are nonverbal (both physical and mental) and is being compensated by it. And everything I'm really good at almost never involved the art of language.
I recently realized this part, all I could remember is that I figured my learning style too early and didn't knew it actually mean't this.
