I have OCD.... IMO there is some strange link between certain maladies and high IQ.
I’ve seen it too many times for it to just be coincidence.
People with OCD seem to make great assembly language programmers :-)

I think you’re right. My own pet theory is parts of the brain that govern certain social functions where overwritten with functions more useful for certain type of mental tasks. Kind of like how babies know how to swim from birth but the function goes away at around 2 years old and has to be learned later in life. I think that the swimming “subroutine” was overwritten by another function.
