Sounds like my brain:
"Imagine living in a fast-moving kaleidoscope, where sounds, images, and thoughts are constantly shifting. Feeling easily bored.distracted by unimportant sights and sounds, your mind drives you from one thought or activity to the next. Perhaps you are so wrapped up in a collage of thoughts and images that you don't notice when someone speaks to you.
Imagine thinking so fast that you can have a complete train of thought between the time when someone who is talking to you begins a word, and when s/he ends it. The kaleidoscope is either disabling, or enabling, depending on the level of intelligence of the possessor. In those with slightly above-average intelligence or lower, it can be disabling, causing a host of problems including inability to work, frustration, oppositional defiance, depression, mania, failure in social situations, failure in academics, substance abuse, and on and on. Imagine now, the ability to have the train of thought in the span of time between the beginning of the word and the end, and still being able to understand the meaning of the word and formulate an appropriate response in the next instant. For those that are able to move quickly enough mentally to process all of the information, to sort through the shifting Colors, images, sounds, thoughts, emotions, memories, logical trains of thought, and sensations which all are constant and simultaneous, an extraordinary observational power emerges. For those which combine that with an incredible memory, connections can be made in seconds that would take a normal person minutes to discover."
