I'm still figuring this out, but I think I compensate for poor mirroring ability by intuiting a person's "story," extrapolating what will be good for that person (regardless of whether they realize it or not), and then enticing/prodding/shoving them conversationally in that direction.

I have a spectacularly good sense of direction but I have to think for a second to remember right and left.

I used to have a terrible problem with intrusive thoughts -- awkward, painful memories coming unbidden -- until about ten years ago when I spent seven months nigh-friendless after moving to Portland, OR. During that time I somehow figured out how to collect the bad feeling in an imaginary ball and expel it, either with an exhalation of breath or a squinting/head-shaking or throwing gesture. It works instantly and completely. I do this somewhat frequently but I don't think anyone notices.

I can usually tell within minutes if I'm going to be close with someone for a long time. I'm almost always right, and sometimes the other party doesn't realize it or understand why I get impatient when they don't want to skip directly to greater intimacy.

I anagram most words within my visual field, mostly without noticing I'm doing so. I also half-consciously read phrases backward and acronym-ize stuff like license plates.

Trying to socialize with more than four people results in me either becoming the center of attention or checking out of the conversation completely.

I'm mostly indifferent to children and animals. I don't dislike them. I'll even occasionally pet my landlady's cat or converse with a toddler. But I don't form bonds or miss them when they're not around.

If I have a song in my head, it gets rhythmically altered and iterated until it's unrecognizable. Phrases with similar cadences and syllable counts typically fuse and loop and iterate as well.
