Is this normal for a 12 year old boy?!
Question: My brain works in a very weird way. When ever I read a book I see a movie that is always different. For example if I read a book that focuses on a certain character while reading the book there will be a hole other story revolving around a minor character. The images I see are very clear and detailed. Whenever I focus on 2 things my mind automatically thinks of what I can make from them. If I concentrate on a number my mind would quickly process lots of things about it. Its very hard to explain. I also have a very active imagination. When ever I think of something boring my mind would make it more exiting. Sometimes I would see strange things that arent there. For example I turn around and see a person for a split second but later it would vanish. When I was little I had a stuffed dog that would spring to life whenever I was near it. I actually thought he was real. Sometimes I still do because thinking back to when I was 6. I remember us talking and doing things to help me.

"Sometimes I would see strange things that arent there. For example I turn around and see a person for a split second but later it would vanish"
everything was fine until i read this, this may be a symptom to many diseases, i dont know which of them but you' re out of reality now, you should look for some medical help cause if this keeps going on it may get worse
i wish my imagination was as good as yours. the "calvin and hobbes" thing you've got going on with your little stuffed dog (the coming to life thing when you're around)..i wish i could've done that. i tend to just see things as they are.
and yeah, everybody's mind works differently.
Symptoms of autism or schizophrenia
yes it could be normal it is just that you are not focusing when you read that is all and also about the imagination if you use it the right way you could get alot of money like if you wrote down everything you thought you would be a awsome writer so just try to use your knowlage right!?.,
It sounds like you have a difficult time focusing on things, especially one thing at a time. I think you could benefit from some mind training.
As for the imagination, I would make the best of now. Start writing things down. Include vivid details. This could be the beginning of a great career in writing.
Good Luck!
