Dude, DD and I share the same basic model of brain, too-- so I understand completely what you are saying there. It is highly useful. The only down side is the perception (definitely not realistic) that this represents enmeshment rather than me simply understanding what makes her tick because she and I are so similar in our responses...
I wonder if it is because I'm female, or if it is more to do with sharing the same gender.
Anyway. Something that other parents with this level of intuitive insight into their kids might want to know-- it can look "enmeshed" to an outsider.
