Wow, that's exactly right, I don't have a problem learning or analysing extremely gruesome stuff, I don't get phased by it, especially if you describe it clinically, though I don't do well with very gory pictures.
I do know I have ADHD, but your guess of autism might also be true... I never got diagnosed.
I will try that game. I always assumed my troubles socialising were just because I never had any friends as a kid and only started reaching out to other people in my mid 20's, so my brain never developed in these areas. It might be that it's working memory (though I am unsure about it, since I always assumed I am average or above average in that field).
