Speaking from personal experience, people tell me I have been that way since child hood with schizo affective. but it is not reliable . sometimes it happens other times it does not. when I worked in a shop the owner told me to stop writing the mileage of a car and other info until the customer says something. One day I wrote down the mileag, i see mental impages of what the owner is looking at and here what he is about to say. He rounde the mileage to the nearest hundred, i wrote down the exact. The customer got all upset and jumped out of his car, told the owner "did you see what he did?" After I was not to write things down before i was told, it upsets people. One time I laid out all the tools and parts for a repair. the boss asked me why, if absent mindely told him, well Mr Foster is coming in , and wants this and that, I was not trying to really do such a thing but I knew the name, what the car was and how soon he would be to the shop. when customers call i see pictures in my mind, color of car, etc but it is not something that happens more just a few times a day
