Robot Diver 🌊🌬️🍃🌿🌸🌱🌱🌱Do you have a fun and simultaneously useless autism skill? I sure do. My record is 14 in one summer. They are literally neon lights to my brain.
Barefoot RamblingPattern recognition is WILD in my brain. Where's Waldo? HA! I had a teacher "accuse" me of having my mom buy the say book so I could "show off" by finding that little bugger every time in 2 seconds flat.
Now it mostly manifests as seeing every. single. continuity error in every. single. show/movie I watch.
I can't NOT see it.

I read of a psychology experiment that plagued neurotypicals with something like this:
They were studying how practice can move a skill from conscious to unconscious -- where it can function in the background. So they gave people things to read, with two tasks: (1) basic reading comprehension and (2) count the 'e' letters in the passage. They measured how long it took them for counting e's not to noticeably impair reading time.
And the people were left with brains that spotted e's even when they were not interested.
