I hear that many of those with autism are great at visualizing and I also have this ability. I noticed in my Wechsler Memory Scale scores that there was a lot of subtest score scatter which was suggestive of ASD or ADHD (The autism tests I've taken suggest I have aspergers), and I also noticed that, interestingly, even though my general memory scores were at the 70th percentile, the "Spatial Addition" subtest score was at the 99.9th percentile. 
So, I'm guessing that this "ability to visualize" is expressed in the "Spatial Addition" score. Has anyone here taken the Wechsler Memory Scale and do you know what your Spatial Addition score was? Do you know if you have this gift for visual thinking which apparently nearly half of all autistics have?
