I wonder how much of the mental thought process is genetic vs learned, because I can totally relate to your description. You mention colour, which is interesting, because I was never attuned to colour until I worked as a photographer for a decade where it actually matters beyond just symbolism (ie blue sky = nice day, red light = stop). Now it is often prevalent in my thought process. I would say my own thinking is a wild mix of language, maths ('just' another language really), graphs and other visual representations. Nigh impossible to form it into a coherent linear narrative.
