Still off. I'm faster, and I'm older.

That means you're the top 1% of the world, essentially, or even higher. Unlikely but not impossible, some of the fastest in the world read between 2,000-4,000 wpm.

I wasn't guessing your age though, it was merely part of the calculation. If you're older it just means you had even more time to read impressive numbers of books.

Yes, I probably am in the top percent. But as it is an autism based ability, it also comes with it's number of problems. You probably would not want to switch with me.

I see, I have an acquaintance who has a type of autism. I'm happy to read you made nice first contact with the new neighbours, as I know it could be harder for someone on the spectrum.

What issues come with your reading superpower?

I am lucky that I have learned to deal with the issues. One key issue is face blindness. I am completely unable to read faces, and it is extremely difficult to identify someone by just their faces.
