I don't have any what I would call savant skills, but I'm very good at remembering numbers (I could for example tell you at this minute what the model number of VHS player, just because my mum made me remember it in my head when I went shopping about four months ago) and facts (providing I've read/seen them, I have awful audial memory as I have probably got CAPD, which is connected to Asperger's syndrome) and brilliant at science (even though I've been too ill to go to school for nearly two years I still get exceptional grades). I also have the maximum reading grades you get (I'm 13), and am quite good at maths.

I was famous (or should I say infamous) at my school for being weird and apparently "knowing everything in the world" (I told them that I didn't and that it is impossible to know everything in the world). People who I have never seen before in my life used to come up to me and call me by my full name (first name and sur name) it got rather annoying as I hate attention.
