And I like the taste of them :D A berry in Polish means jagoda and it's also a girl's name - quite a rare one, I ever met just one little girl named Jagoda in my life from what I remember :D

I wish I had an appreciation for modern music so I can have something to talk to my mum, niece and sister about. The reality is that I don't and I never will.

I was born in 1959. The earliest memories I can confidently date are from the summer of 1963, before my birthday. This is based on the birth of my little sister being born September 11, 1963. I remember things before she was born.
She was born with multiple birth defects. She lived in a special home her whole life, and died in 1977 from complications after a surgery. She is likely why I watch the Special Books by Special Kids videos.

Another random truth is I use to sing the song Tammy to her when she came home for visits on Christmas. Her name was Tammy. I remember singing it long before she was born. It was a popular song, I liked it. I doubt I knew all the words.

Because this is something of downer of a subject, here is a period appropriate song I also enjoyed as a child.
The Singing Nun (Sœur Sourire) "Dominique & Les Pieds Des Missionnaires" on The Ed Sullivan Show

The Singing Nun: Wikipedia wrote:
[She] turned to teaching disabled youngsters in Wavre, Brabant, eventually opening her own school for autistic children.

I have obsession about NLD. I had verbal IQ 22 points higher than performance IQ on Wechsler test in 2016. NLD is considered a learning disorder, Asperger syndrome is considered an autism spectrum disorder and a pervasive developmental disorder. I am treated like a person with an autism spectrum disorder, like a person with a pervasive developmental disorder, not like a person with a learning disorder. Dyslexia is a learning disorder and childhood autism is a pervasive developmental disorder. I was diagnosed with a pervasive developmental disorder despite having VIQ significantly higher than PIQ some years after my pervasive developmental disorder diagnosis. There are rather no chances for disability pension for a learning disorder but if you have pervasive developmental disorder. you can have chances for disability pension. I may wonder if poor visual-spatial skills are frequent among people with autism spectrum disorder.

I'm in the process of putting together a little gingerbread village. I'm doing it in stages.

I was considered totally incapable of work four times and I got disability pension because of it four times. It is the financial benefit called renta socjalna ("social pension") in Poland.

I have "obsessive question" about having or not having autism spectrum disorder in fact. I suppose that I may have just nonverbal learning disorder which may be renamed developmental visual-spatial disorder (DVSD). I have verbal intelligence much higher than performance intelligence. Do people can get disability pension for nonverbal learning disorder alone? Why autism spectrum disorder and nonverbal learning disorder are considered so similar? The difference between the terms: pervasive developmental disorder and specific learning disorder is large. Pervasive developmental disorder sounds serious and specific learning disorder sounds much less serious than pervasive developmental disorder.

I... Hadn't actually had any savings this year.

I'm genuinely questioning if I really wanted two things I'm trying to save money for; a reassessment that I've been waiting for nearly 3 years now and this damnable dental issue.

I might as well contemplate that having a front teeth is a distracting burden; I won't mind wearing a facemask whenever I'm in public and at work (because almost everyone knew of that damnable and loud chronic breathing condition anyway) and that I wouldn't get anything new from the reassessment.

I'm wondering if I should put my thermal vest back on

I took it off with it being so mild but now I'm thinking that a t-shirt alone isn't enough

I'm going for the cosy factor

I might even take it to the next level and whack the heating on

I'd hate it if I was a man
Because if I was a man then I would have to shave my face every day
And that's why I would hate it if I was a man

I think that NVLD and 6A02.0 from ICD-11 are on the same level of severity. 6A02.0 is autism spectrum disorder without intellectual development disorder and with mild/no functional language impairment.

I might wonder if nonverbal learning disability is just autism (usually 6A02.0 from ICD-11) plus developmental visual-spatial disorder/verbal skills significantly better than visual-spatial skills.

I might have doubts if it is possible to have nonverbal learning disability without being autistic.

I have a bit of an attitude problem. I'm working on it. I have a disdain for certain people because they expect too much from me.

I had to grin when I posted on Post a blatant lie and the page rolled over to 1234.
It's not a special interest. I just like little things that happen like that. 1248 would be another number I can aim for. 1235 or 1236 would also be neat. Not like the cure for the many forms of cancer, but a nice little sometimes life is delightful moment.
