This "condition" if one might call it that, is probably not "treatable". So, if we are to live this way, how are we to navigate in this world? If our children, or anyone else, has this condition, how might we be able to help them. I see this as a possible way to assist others in this world. What are the natural weaknesses and how might one mitigate problems that are sure to come? What are the natural strengths and how might one be useful to others in their application? What are the interpersonal problems or advantages that one might share with others so that they might understand and work around them? Anybody interested?

Hello Maarten Thank you. I guess that being different, somehow, gives one a better understanding that we are all so very different from one another. For me, when I met my future wife, it literally took me a week to remember her name, repeating it over and over again, on the half hour drive home, after we were together. Is that SDAM? That was over 50 years ago and I could never see her or anyone else's face or any experience that I have ever had for a moment after the experience. She has passed now and I still am not able to remember a single moment of our life together. Pictures do confirm that we did have  a life together. I remember some traumatic moments, not from any sort of feeling, but just that they happened, and the fact that it was not nice. I do remember having experiences and I do remember their consequences, but not in any way that it seems that most others do. Did that affect my life? I guess, but how would I know, I just lived my life. To remember how to punctuate a sentence, I could not. But, I can write a sentence. Obviously, I was not applying myself, with the consequence that I always failed any test using rules. Things must be logical for me to comprehend. I could never be an engineer but I can quickly tell you when something will not work. And, for me it is easy to build systems because there are no written rules, for me. I can and have developed systems and processes that were, at the time, thought to be impossible. If something is logical I can sell it. And, people have often said, "sign the deal, he knows what he is talking about." Just add me to your list of oddities.
