I think there could be something in this. Normally we function using a sort of balance between the left brain (analysis) and the right brain (intuition).

Whilst those with autism perhaps overuse the left brain have you ever wondered what happens when the right brain takes control? I think this could be very closely linked to various schizophrenia disorders.

I'm left handed, creative and very right brain dominant. 'Normal' people can seem almost robotic to me and I know that if I don't censor myself I can sound very 'far out' to normies. With a new subject I learn slowly at first as I have to consciously engage my analysis, but once I get past a certain level at something I improve very rapidly. It's almost like my brain starts doing the work for me. This is contrary to the normal learning curve.

If you're interested in the right brain a good book is Gladwell's 'Blink' in which he looks at how top experts in different areas are often those who have bypassed the analytical and been able to fully engage their intuition. When used with control this can grant almost superhuman insight.
