Excellent summary!

* I also have an aversion to blood, and I suspect for similar reasons.

* Music is for me what the visual mind's-eye probably is for most people. I feel like I can basically 'hear' the music, in a similar way that people say they can 'see' their mother's face when they close their eyes. I wonder at over-developing one sense when another is compromised, like the blind person who learned bat-like echolocation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a05kgcI9D2Q

* Your star square circle example on working memory is spot-on. I enjoy memorization like a hobby, possibly another over-developed thing. If I'm on a long walk, or have to wait a long time for something, I love to practice memorizing epic poems and pi.
