>can others just subtly keep way more items in their working memory at once?
I think on the contrary. As I imagine it, you focus on one item, keep it in your working memory, then refocus on the other item, so that you can put both together. For me, both items are just there, and no special effort is needed to handle them.
I don't think that the concept of working memory even applies to those who are not "monotropic".
