Yesterday I asked you what your neuroatypical superpowers were.
Let me do a small-ish thread on my superpowers.
Some of them are very similar to what you shared.
A thread.

1) I love big data and I cannot lie.
I am not a statistician. It is not heavy duty maths.
But often, for work (and sometimes for fun too), I have to look at patterns.
I tabulate judgments and analyse them.
Even though the content is very #TW-ish, I love doing this so much.

2) My "special interest" changes every few months.
But when I'm in that zone,I am obsessed about it.
Suddenly, one day, I cannot look at it anymore. Until few months later, when I am again interested in it.
I call it "Jhum irrigation" of brain

3) I have a tendency to absorb people's accents. It is so random.
But .... when I am learning a new language, it allows me to learn it with the tones and accents.
How awesome is that?

4) I get hired for my unique point of view.
The difference in how I process is what makes me so good at what I do - research, advocacy, writing, comedy.

5) Empathy.
Do you know how rare empathetic criminal lawyers are?
This is especially so when it comes to representing victims of violence in an adversarial common law jurisdictions.
(I am told that) I (used to) make all my clients feel heard and represented.

Confession: Last 2 days, my no. of points were not multiples of 5. It made me so anxious.
But I let it be.
I didn't delete things or add random things.
"No one will notice because they don't know this is the pattern you like."
I cannot tell you how happy I am that today's is 5
