My curse: insomnia
My talent: knowing powers of 2. (2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128 .....65,536 ... etc)
Well, as a child I was often lying awake at night, got bored of counting sheep, and starting multiplying by 2 instead. Of course, this was before we had the internet. But not, I note, before aspbergers.
My Curse: always feeling the need to be prepared for major natural disasters.
My Talent: being just out of range of major natural disasters (1983 Adelaide bushfires, killed dozens - missed me by 10 km. 2003 Canberra bushfires, killed four, missed me by 10 km. In Japan I've dodged two typhoons and one significant earthquake, by luck.
I have more but they're less interesting.
