Cadbury is my favourite chocolate.

Today I won a big box of sauerkraut

I am reading that great book I won on the Saint Nicholas Day: https://www.libristo.pl/pl/ksiazka/the- ... q0QAvD_BwE

This post of mine on WP is my post number 5000

I drew a chart with Block Design, Similarities, Digit Span, Coding, Vocabulary, Comprehension, Picture Completion, Information, Arithmetic mean WISC-IV scores of individuals with Asperger syndrome, NVLD and autistic disorder from Identifying Nonverbal Learning Disability Using the WISC-IV: Establishing Diagnostic Differences. I drew also my scores from WAIS-R done in 2016 lowered by 5,5 scaled scores for seeing comparison of my profile on these 9 subscales with average profiles of Asperger syndrome, NVLD and autistic disorder.

I suppose that words and concepts are prime mode of processing in my mind - not so much pictures. I have a lot of melodies in my mind last times.

Oh I have pictures in my mind. It's like watching a wide-screen television when I close my eyes

Do you like it

I think that many persons with autism may have verbal Reasoning more developer than nonverbal reasoning. I do not think that if a person has verbal reasoning more developed than nonverbal reasoning, then this person has only a learning disorder but not autism.

I don't think I own an item if clothing that's older than the shirt I am currently wearing

It must be 20 years old, at least

It's my favourite fleece lined indoor/outdoor lumberjack shacket

I love it so much

I love my Adidas cream woolly hat. I sleep in it a lot of the time.

My bed hat has ears

I've not really had to wear it yet this year

I once went through a whole phase of wearing odd socks

I don't know the heck I thought I was

I found interesting post with Wechsler IQ profile on the wrongplanet.net forum: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=60684&start=30#p1436099 (the profile below):

I noticed intriguing similarities between my WAIS-R profile and the profile described in the previous post.

My profile:

Verbal IQ: 126
Performance IQ 104
Full Scale IQ: 117

Verbal Comprehension Index: 125
Perceptual Organization Index: 100
Working Memory: 126 - 128 probably
Processing Speed: 113 - 117 (I think)

Verbal Scaled Score:

Vocabulary: 14
Similarities: 13
Arithmetic: 18
Digit Span: 11
Information: 17
Comprehension: 13

Performance Scaled Score:

Picture Completion: 9
Digit Symbol Coding: 13
Block Design: 14
Picture Arrangement: 8
Object Assembly: 9

In the profile from previous post FSIQ in 135 and Block Design is 17, which corresponds to IQ 133 - 137.

In my profile FSIQ is 117 and Block Design in 14, which corresponds to IQ 118 - 122.

In the profile in previous post Picture Completion is 5 scaled scores lower than Block Design, as in my WAIS-R profile from 2016.

In my profile VIQ was 126 and VCI was 125 so VCI was minimally lower than VIQ which means that WMI should be a bit higher than VCI in my WAIS-R profile.

In the profile from previous post WMI is quite significantly higher than VCI (11 points) and VCI is only 6 points higher than Perceptual Comprehension Index. In my case Verbal Comprehension Index was 25 point higher than Perceptual Organization Index because Picture Completion, Picture Arrangement and Object Assembly lowered POI from about 118 - 122 to 100. In the profile from previous post Block Design is also higher than other performance scaled scores. It is very interesting phenomenon.

VIQ 142 and PIQ 119 give 23 points difference. VIQ 126 and PIQ 104 give 22 points difference. Another intriguing similarity despite obvious difference between my profile and the other profile - the Processing Speed which is 44 points lower than Perceptual Comprehension Index while in my profile Processing Speed was about 113 - 117 (because Coding had scaled score 13) and it was about 13 - 17 points higher than Perceptual Organization Index.

How me and my brother and my sister were to bring up:-

Me
As a child: I was my parent's most challenging child, taking up a lot of their attention
As a teenager: I was friendless and became a bit of a burden, often crying for a friend and took it out on my mother
As an adult: I started off crazy but I think I found my two feet once I met my husband and moved out. I'm in a job and have not neglected myself or anything
Skills: I am the most creative one, maybe even the brightest in a way, although my IQ is in the 90s

My sister
As a child: She had delays in her learning but not anything to cause great stress for our parents. She received help at school but didn't require a diagnosis or anything (lucky!) She wasn't too difficult to bring up but had OCD-like tendencies, like she didn't like her stuff being touched in her room and she always kept her room immaculate
As a teenager: She got in with the wrong crowd and was easily led. I still envied her for having friends of her own and getting out and about, but they weren't really the right people to get involved with. Then she got a bit involved with boys, but luckily didn't end up pregnant (I don't think she had sex or anything, as she was too shy)
As an adult: Her adult years started off with being in an abusive relationship where she was controlled and isolated from the family, but 10 years later she finally got out of it and seems strangely unscarred by it all. She's in a low-paying job and has a baby, so she seems to be doing all right, just plodding along really like me
Skills: She can seem to cope through any hardships and doesn't seem to express anxiety or stress, even though she's gotten stressed and anxious at work. But she definitely doesn't get depressed. I'm still wondering why she isn't suffering from any PTSD from the abusive relationship she was in for 10 long years, because she was abused and bullied by the psychopath bloke she was with

My brother
As a child: He was the most well-behaved one out of the three of us, and didn't take up a lot of attention from our parents. He was sensitive and quiet, but he had a lot of friends
As a teenager: He was just average really. Wasn't too difficult, but got influenced into smoking and drinking and skipping school. He had friends and spent more time with them than he did with family, probably because of me he was rather forgotten
As an adult: He became withdrawn and a depressive, gave up his job and is now claiming a disability benefit. He has mental health issues that somehow got diagnosed as AS, but I don't think it's AS, it seems more like bipolar and depression to me, as he's never had social awkwardness or sensory issues or anything like that, and naturally had a lot of friends throughout childhood even though he had a shy temperament and didn't have an interest in sports or anything
Skills: I don't know really. He doesn't have learning difficulties or anything, but no skills either. Maybe that's why he's depressed, I don't know. He's never been creative like me and my sister. He's good with children, and he likes books, movies and music, and knows a lot about them. He is asexual and hasn't had a girlfriend since he was a teenager. I think being asexual gets to him, as it makes him feel isolated
