You are describing the same fallacy in reverse, to think that everybody thinks like you or that you think in an unusual way are both generalizations from one example.
A valid point; although I never thought that everyone else were similar to each other; just that I never seemed to fit in the model that other people had. And they certainly weren't thinking as I was.
if this were a venn diagram I would imagine many slightly overlapping circles, rather than one around everyone else and one around me.

I am quite sure in my experience that at some point between the ages of 10-15 I concluded that; "no the rest of the world does not think like me, I think in an unusual way".
This idea disagrees with the typical mind fallacy (where people outwardly generalise to think everyone else has similar minds to their own).
I suspect I started with a typical mind model of the world but at some point it broke badly enough that I re-modelled on "I just think differently to most others".
I wanted to start a new discussion; rather than continuing on from one in 2009;
Where do your experiences lie in relation to typical minds?
