My ADHD version very similar to that.

Although, on mine, if you actually read any of it, none of it's even remotely related to what I'm trying to figure out. It looks like it is but this is a lie.

Its not even like I'm thinking of lots of different things. Its just junk.

I’m autistic and my mental processing is visual. It’s a lot like that actually.

Ye old "Mind's Eye" seems to vary person to person rather than correlating with level of neurotypicality. IDK tho, maybe some studies could show the truth.

It’s actually not like this very much, because these things always just show images floating around.

In reality the images are changing constantl, and it’s not images you could capture with a camera. It’s abstract shapes that constantly shift according to rules I’ve programmed in for how they’re allowed to change. As they go through changes they implicitly calculate logic and other mental computations. At the very end if I want to tell someone what I’m thinking, I translate it into words so I can say it.

It’s more like a circuit diagram mixed with a fractal mixed with MC Escher drawings, than others is like images of documents and photos floating around in a screen saver pattern. Like a physical computing machine being simulated in my head.

FUCK I got the "Beat Donkey Kong Country 3 over and over again" Autism instead of the Medical HUD Autism

I thought I gave the game away when I physically moved stuff around the HUD with my hands. These guys just put it in a TV show!

Well I guess I should just come clean here, this is what ADHD super focus looks like too. Complete with transparent windows so we can layer them and see in 3D.

  1. You can just gaslight yourself into liking math, by finding easy to understand material on math, then working yourself up from there, but that requires like Bene Gesserit levels of understanding autism and especially your own autism, and a lot of support from your parents (which is usually the bane of many autistic talents).
  2. You can still get good at e.g. making stuffed animals, which you can always upgrade to making fursuits to get a lot of money.

Also remember that a lot of these "anti-savant" sentiments originate from autism moms, and they often like to claim most autistic people are like at Chris-chan levels of talent at their special interest/craft.
