Hey guys I was just wondering what it could be ...
1 - I certainly have trouble with recognizing people's faces... Not sure though how much the fact that I don't look people I don't know well in the face affects that 
But even if I do I won't recognize it later anyway
2 - I get lost anywhere. Even if I've been to the place thousands of times, like my college campus.
3 - I confuse some words, like "on", "in", "in front of"; "borrow" and "lend"; "go" and "come".
4 - I forget things, confuse the dates of appointments, lose objects, have trouble following verbal instructions... Guess this is trouble with executive function.
5 - I'm awful at telling distances, how much time has passed, etc
I sometimes (usually when I come back down to Earth) get the "who am I where am I" feeling, like a completely forgetful confused brain.
1 - I wonder what it could be... I read it sounds like dyspraxia, but I don't have major coordination problems, just a little clumsy, and I lack the other symptoms too. Any ideas?
2 - Does anyone here experience it too?
3 - I don't know if I have aspergers and giftedness or just giftedness, but those symptoms sound more like aspergers than gifted... Or not? Or unrelated?
EDIT - but those symptoms seem to be more related to aspergers than to my giftedness (so maybe I'm both)... Or are they not related at all?
Any help here?

What does this have to do with being gifted? I experience most of this.

second set is not dyspraxia wich is really just more of being clumsy as a definition
I do have this sort of thing, where I will be going along and I know I am on my way home, but suddenly I don't remember any of the buildings even though I am in a familiar neighborhood. Don'[t know what it is called though.
Thanks for your help!
So do you think 1, 4 and 5 are related to aspergers? What other kind of characteristics could distinguish a gifted person from a gifted aspie?
I have sensory processing issues, obssessive interests and I'm socially awkward, but those are all characteristics of gifted people too
