I… kinda fit the bill. Most proud moment was getting the highest grade in my class for Organic Chemistry (believe it was 107/100 or something… we had extra credits since the course was too damn hard) while barely studying, because the chemical structures/concepts made natural sense to me and I kinda liked the class
Used to think I’m really smart. Later on I realize I probably have hyperlexia from my ASD diagnosis so… I still studied, just that it seemed to have taken much less time for me than most others

Similar for me but with ADHD. I never studied, could barely pay attention in class unless I was reading comics or something, and consistently got high grades. In one of the physics classes I got a 99 on the midterm and 100 on the final.
10 years later, I struggle to read through a design doc. Academia and real world are very different.
