So,like sounds, even high ones,or cars, drive me nuts. I have extra high octaves(they told me,on testing me, as a teen)I can hear,too,so it's wierd I listen to music a lot,and it effects me greatly.Now,in middleage,I listen to classical music,and opera, a lot,and that effects me very much,I can use it to calm me,or make me think,or put me to sleep, even. People in my family had a lot of musical talent,on both sides, especially my dad's; my family has definite signs of autistic spectrum,but no one ever got diagnosed; my sister confessed to having "face blindness",but then took her statement back again,when I tried to say something; she refuses to admit that she has it, now. Unfortunately,we also have a lot of mental illness,maybe partly from having to deal with the world with being on the autistic spectrum. Aspergers, that is. Lots of signs my family is on the spectrum. I hear, a lot of Aspies get isolated,cause they can;t deal with the world,and their systems just stop trying to do it,and they withdraw in self defense. I know I do.I also got misdiagnosed, for many years,and just classified as "mentally ill".

It's been going on for thousands of years;other people who do not conform to the group "normalcy" patterns,are not accepted in the group,or often even tolerated. So,I'm not surprised; all my life,I was out of it,cause I was too intelligent. Wish I had been good at computers,I'd be Bill Gates by now,though.

It sounds like you are in your "right mind"...where words have no meaning and visual sensation or focus is all. There is a book "Drawing on the Right side of the Brain" by Betty Edwards where she explains exercises that artist-wanna-be's like me can use to get into their "right mind". My son has a diagnosis of autism-lite, and he tells me he sees every detail, also. Not to perseverate…
