First off let me say I'm not trying to be combative. You are entitled to your opinion, and I am entitled to mine. So I'm just stating mine. I wish the best for you and am just trying to give you my perspective for what you think that is worth.

If you have ever taken a chemistry class you would know that protons and electrons don't work that way. It would have to be a magical, mystical power that is completely unknown to all of the greatest scientists in the world. Your brain is largely similar to the brains of all other humans - you have not been born with super-human powers.

There are people all over the world that are convinced they have magical powers, extra-sensory perception, that they are George Washington, that they can control people with their minds, see the future, etc. A lot of these people are mentally ill to varying degrees, a lot of them are "very superstitious" and "a little odd", but non of them are actually magical.

I am not saying you're mentally ill. If it doesn't go a lot deeper than what you're describing now it could fall under "superstition", or a singular strange and unreal-seeming experience (with your encounter with this girl). But if you think you have autistic tendencies (which can be mistaken for autism based on social difficulties, withdrawness, etc.) and also hold these beliefs strongly I think schizotypal personality disorder seems like a logical possibility that might be worth considering.

It is thought that an excess of dopamine on the brain can cause people to see patterns, events, sensory experiences that are not based in reality. Some schizophrenics are very convinced of aliens trying to steal their brains, but that doesn't make it true (no, I do not think you're schizophrenic - that statement is for illustrative purposes to show that belief does not equal reality).

I hope I'm not coming off like a **** but maybe I am and if so I apologize. I just urge you to consider a psychological angle if you experience future trouble with this kind of magical thinking and it is affecting your life negatively. If you continue to experience problems of this kind and it is negatively impacting your life consider talking to a psychiatrist or therapist.

If you're not experiencing problems then more power to you - if you are doing fine then go with it. But if you are having a hard time and decide to see a psychiatrist know that they can't make you take medication and can't institutionalize you for saying you believe in ESP, but they might give you a different perspective that you can then choose to accept or deny.
