I can plug in a USB drive/cable on the first time, successfully, without flipflopping the connector (and then USB C had to come along and invalidate my only worthwhile achievement)
That's not a superpower, that's just witchcraft

oh wait i got another one, my tinnitus it a pretty constant pitch, and i can measure my intervals offa it so i got perfect pitch. i can't tell you what note it is (except for b3, i hit that one perfectly every time because of this one ave maria) but it takes me a minute. the note is e11 or e12 i can't remember which anymore
My sister and I were talking about benign superpowers and decided the X-Men probably have someone like a band director with a superpower like perfect pitch who watches after the school while everyone else is off adventuring.

I aquired this superpower trough habits, but i can intuitively find the north.
Apart from that, well, I'm just myself
I keep trying to learn that, but keep forgetting. ADHD is rough. X.x
You have ADHD too? I know what it is, and trying to maintain routines is hell of a hard task.
To be used to do it, you must not learn it the duolingo way (you will forget anyways, even with reminders), but actually find use and interest in everyday life and in your passions.
Get some interest in how wind works (which directions do wind take and why), when there's wind, you will see it’s often the same directions, and you can try to guess its orientation by that.
Also, astronomy (looking at the night sky, you will be used to find the polar star at the same place and will notice that planets always align on the sun path, rising at the east and setting at the west).
You must not learn it, but immerse yourself in it to the point it becomes a secondary nature.
(Yeah this method worked for me for languages and philosophy, which i really sucked at back then, but looking at what i wrote it’s pretty generic, so i hope it at least helped you a little ^^')

now, regarding my superpower i give good hugs
wait i'm a supertaster and i fucking hate ants, if that's the scent i can do it too. well i could if i didn't shitbomb the bathroom so often. but you may have legitimately helped me in my lifelong war against the ants (i'm farsighted i cannot see them until i sit down and they crawl up and bite my jibblies thank you)
Probably odorous house ants (sometimes also called sugar ants). I'm fairly sensitive to their scent, myself and recall being in tears as a small child ~6 because one of them walked across my finger and no amount of washing would get the smell off. I'm not a fan.
