I have some of the same characteristics but so does my nephew who does not have any sort of neuro condition. Also, some of these abilities I have are in my family background, so I feel like due to the fact that there was an area in my brain that suffered damage due to high fever as a child, other areas may have compensated making them possibly more adept at their fuinction. That makes senser to me since the body does that sort of thing and the brain is no exception. That area is the epileptogenic area where the seizures originate in my case. None of that is even important in the grand scheme of things. What is important is to keep myself moving forward with my life as I choose and to make every effort to keep myself from gong backward. Not taking my Keppra is floolish for me to do since these gifts I have may or will eventually disappear if I lose cognitive abilty or memory which will happen if I were to continue to have uncontrolled seizures no matter what type they are. I have simple and complex partials, but since I had surgery, my life is so much better. No complex partials, only an occas to rare aura and I still take Keppra. I have taken meds since I was 14 years old and always will. No biggie! I want to reach my full potential and always enjoy these gifts I was given so I will do my part and take care of myself. Tattoo
