I have a friend like that, he has autism his social decorum is little to none but he can do a rubix cube blind folded so long as he has seen all sides and after about 30 seconds he puts it behind his back and wolla its done in no time, he also kicks ass in chess and backgammon amazing but you can not tell him anything private as he will tell every one he knows.
