Great post, i once made a post about autistics and their ability to draw things and this kind of information was what i was looking for.

It seems believable to me, The same kind of thing might apply to people who have played video games their entire lives.
Its said that gamers also develop a different way of thinking and processing information in a visual way which allows them to make the kind of complex fast decisions games require.

When i had specialized help for my as they used a lot of drawings and visuals to emphasize what we where talking about. This would explain why they use it.

True about the video gamers I reckon. It has also been shown that Taxi drivers in large cities such as London have different brain structures in some ways. There are also Savants like Steven Wiltshire (who you may have been referring to by the post you said you made before) who can redraw landscapes with perfect accuracy. Those sort of skills just astound me.
