Everyone has potential. There are things to which you are naturally predisposed. Some kind of strength in something.
The extent to which these potential energies become demonstrable talents all depends on how you connect to and express these abilities.
Let me give you an example.
I have a natural ability to work with plants... a "green thumb", if you will.
It started as simply an interest. I liked plants. But over time, as I learned more about them, did more practical hands-on work with them, I started to get really good. I began to intuitively understand how plants worked, and could produce desired results of growth or production almost effortlessly. The internal aspie-obsessive drive to be around plants is what kept me going. But the knowledge and skills that I gained were the same that anyone would, if they kept practicing and trying to learn.
This is very different from being a savant. That's a completely separate neurological process.
To phrase it another way, if you have an overwhelming special interest, follow it. Indulge yourself in it and express it to the best of your ability. In some form or another, that act of expression will start to be the "talent" that I think you are speaking of.
