I have many of the symptoms that WYSIWYG describes in post one at times - at age 40 I discovered that I had MMD since birth... Things have not been helped by what seems to have been a couple of micro strokes in the last few years...

It was described to me that I spent so much time when young making my brain using other circuitry, that I compensate, except perhaps when very tired.

Interestingly about movies, after being put on the happy pills, I discovered that many movies were often far more boring than I remembered them being... seems that my brain was no longer spinning its wheels, so now I am just watching what is acually happening instead of constantly planning out other optional story paths while watching... :-)
