So I know this girl who I swear is on like a different wave of thinking and I was wondering if different surroundings and upbringings cause your mind to work differently.
Like where our minds are hardwired to learn by social norms and mimicking to learn she struggles really hard to catch on. She's still extremely fictional and effective (Unless they are things that have to do with very set rules like games where you must do things in any set order ex: baseball, or cooking on a stove then she can't do it at all, she remembers the steps but not in order.) when it comes to things like building as long as she knows how something works and what the end picture will look like, though she always does it very strangely, I saw her carry a hammer under her chin even though she had two free hands as long as it's done well it's ok. shes not insink with time (Unless they are things that have to do with very set rules like games where you must do things in any set order ex: baseball, or cooking on a stove then she can't do it at all, she remembers the steps but not in order.)

She's strange with food and sleep like she wants to sleep every two or three hours then wake up and eat, but can't because of the way things work, EX school, work, shops ect...

Words are also hard for her. (Maybe because it's another one of those evolutionary things) and although uses them and has a full understanding of how to speak well pulls completely different meaning to the words.

It's like she is a good problem solver and understands how to do things but more like an animal or something like the way we would be if our society hadn't been built up like this, and it's not like she does this on intentionally, she gets really upset when she realizes she's doing it in a way that's not normal.

And although she doesn't know how to copy peoples actions she knows how to copy there though posses for short amounts of time like I'm very good at calculating things, my steps, balance time, and normally she's not but after she started talking to me that is she could do it when she felt the need to, but can shut it off like a switch, and goes from thinking in picture (her normal way of thinking) to words (m normal wa of thinking.) after talking to me.

I'm wondering if there is a name for this way of thinking and understanding and if it could be environmental? (Her family wasn't very present in her life, so she didn't get to really mimic people and learn from them well, and never engaged herself much with people at her school.

Do some people have more primal brains and instinct.

Hmm. I would think your answer would be "yes." The reason I say that is I know of stories of children who have been abandoned and are left to fend for themselves or even to be taken in my wolves. In these stories, the children do not develop normally. They might never speak or develop proper interactions with other people.

I'm not sure what to make of your friend. I wonder if she could be evaluated by a doctor or a therapist.....
