- **Patterns and systems:** Intuitive understanding of music, math, programming
- **Deep concentration:** Hours of focus, resistance to distractions

### The Non-Verbal Genius
Documented cases reveal complex calculation, detailed artistic talents, sophisticated thinking through alternative communication.

**Their difficulty isn't the MIND. It's the OUTPUT.**

## 2. Technology as the Master Key
