This has been getting on my nerves all morning, can anyone remember what the disease Michael scofield has in prison break. that makes him clever or something?

They used a clock as an example!
 
Low latent inhibition.

Edited to include some more content as people seem to be missing/ignoring this post (a some-what sketchy example of normal latent inhibition ;)) :

It’s the inability to filter out un-important stimuli from environmental conditions from conscious thought. For the majority of people it leads to disability like symptoms, being unable to filter out the intricacies of many of the things you come across in every day life can become mind bending and completely destroy high level consciousness.

For an exceptional few it allows them to become incredibly creative and enthrals an amazing drive to understand things to an almost compulsive level, it effects some worse than others and there are degrees of the “condition” just like any other.

Jordan Peterson wrote a good paper on it a few years ago

I’m surprised you don’t remember it Linoge as it is a rather major plot line. I think it appears in episode 9 of the first series.

I can't remember anything like that, do you know what episode it was because I've watched all of them at least twice. :p

Not sure which ep it's in, but I think I remember how it explains that someone intelligent who has low latent inhibition turns out to be very creativity.

AIDS
 
Weird, just looking on Wikipedia and the actor who plays him was born in Chipping Norton (in England).

Not a disease, but when he looks at something he sees everything, not just the item. Not sure what it's called though

I'll be kinda ****** off if this is a season 2 spoiler.
It's not a Season 2 spoiler, we've known it for some time now (if not right from the beginning). It gives the directors a chance to develop a thoroughly interesting character and also a slightly implausible – yet absolutely thrilling – storyline :)
