I'm blessed with being able to see mechanisms in 3D, too,
thankfully.
It has enriched my life to a very great extent. "Things" are fun!

Me too, but I have a lot of trouble translating what I can easily
visualize into words.

Ditto. I'm slow to form sentences concerning complex items,
thinking
that a more clear explanation is better, but it makes some Type-Aers
think I'm imbued with Downs genes. But why should I care if

"The original studies of Fuster and of Goldman-Rakic emphasized the
fundamental ability of the prefrontal cortex to represent information
not currently in the environment, and the central role of this
function in creating the "mental sketch pad".

It's divided into socialization and logical areas:
"Destruction of the anterior two-thirds results in deficits in
concentration, orientation, abstracting ability, judgment, and problem
solving ability; destruction of the orbital (frontal) lobe results in
inappropriate social behavior."

I wonder if one area can temporarily or permanently (Aspergers) take
over the processing power of other?
