Yes. I'm good at reading maps and following directions. As long as I know a couple of big roads, I get by just fine. When I first went to Rome, we didn't use maps to navigate the city: our teachers knew where we were going. The second time I went there, I found that I didn't need a map at all. I used landmarks to get around and didn't get lost once. It freaked the living daylights our of my father

I'm pretty much the same way. My wife is quite the opposite and it kind of blows her mind the way I can just drive off down some random road with the (justified) confidence that I'll eventually end up on some road I recognize and find my way home again.
In fact, way back when America's Next Top Model had Heather, a diagnosed aspie, I identified with her a bit and kind of wondered if maybe I had it.... until she got herself hopelessly lost and never recovered, and I figured that I didn't have what she had since my sense of direction doesn't suck. I've since learned just how much of a variety exists among aspies...
