My gift is relatively mild as my abilities in math is astoundingly average. My gift appears to be in the form of reading comprehension. When I was tested at 16 I was reading the level of someone with a masters degree. As for wondering about other people without my uniqueness, I used to wonder all the time what it would be like to be thoroughly normal, but I came to the conclusion that would be boring. I actually now spend more time wondering about people more like me as some of them are very non functional individuals. And I wonder how they all themselves to be like that.
I wonder if or when you ever felt different from others. Did you wonder what was up with other people who lacked your enhancement/disability. And, of course, do you see it one way or the other (i.e. as enhanced or diabled?)

All the time. People react different to me, look at me different, some are just plain nasty.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
