Although it is a sad story about your sister, I think what comes through is your love for her, pcgoblin.

I watch Netflix now (I won a Netflix voucher like two weeks ago) - something I haven't been doing since the last year. I like to watch "The Sandman" and "Outlander" And I also won a comic book today

I have made a big tower of books. I like the way it looks tottering. Also I have nowhere to put the books. I'm going to feel silly when inevitably I knock it over.

Sometimes while watching a movie I've seen several times, there will come a crucial point in the story, and I this firm believe that the plot will change in a more positive direction. Hasn't happened yet, but I just had one of those moment in the film I'm watching.

What if the writing doesn't appear on the ring. Maybe it won't this time.
Gandalf looks so relieved for just for a little while.

We have a little residents library on our estate (yeah I'm dead posh) and I offload all my books onto them and I swap them for whatever they have

It's fab and it makes me feel like I'm part of something bigger than myself

I'm going crazy counting peachicks.

It was bad enough when Poppy had two because one was ALWAYS hidden behind her or under a bush, like it was a deliberate strategem.

Now there are 2 mums... And 12 chicks.

Aw

My belly's rumbling like Rumbelows today

I feel excitated and very focused about my special interest in autism now.

That's good

I'm starting to see the appeal of Rich Tea biscuits

That was a mindbender because I couldn't work out if it was to "see the appeal of" or "see the appeal in"
And every time I thought it was one thing my mind instantly changed its mind to the other thing

This must have gone on for about 30 or 40 seconds, at least before I consulted Google

So I relinquish all responsibility

For everything

Ever

Tell me about it! Have you noticed that however you try to ensure that they are on a flat surface, in time, they inevitably start sliding?

My executive functioning is poor at the moment.

I've been really embarrassed about it but brains are brains, like they do some stuff and not other stuff.

Can't eat it. Can't squish it into a different shape. I'll just have to potter along with it. Me and my wonky brain.

(I believe in neuroplasticity but also in picking my battles.)

Nooo not yet!!


Editing: oh yes I understand now what you mean! There is no stable book-tower. The stable book-tower does not exist.

Physicists should look into this, probably.

That sounds very lovely. I like moments of anonymous human connection and I think books are good for it.

There's a 'leave one take one' box just on the other side of the park. But I am lazy and forgetful and sentimental and the box is small, so it is a slow process

I think that the term NVLD is so misused and so inaccurate that it would be better changed to developmental visual-spatial disorder or developmental visual-spatial-motor disorder. NVLD profile in WISC-IV is similar to profile of motor impairment (dyspraxia, developmental coordination disorder?).

WAIS profiles of mathematically and scientifically-talented students may have quite significant VIQ>PIQ gap sometimes. WAIS-R can produce even more VIQ>PIQ split than WAIS-III in MST-type profile. MST profiles have, on average, biggest weaknesses in Picture Completion, Picture Arrangement and Object Assembly and it is very important fact. Someone with MST-type profile may looks more NVLDish in WAIS-R than WAIS-III. But it is "pseudoeneldic", autistic-like or autistic profile of IQ without poor Processing Speed Index unlike typical average profile of ASD.

I have giftedness in Arithmetic and Information according to WAIS-R profile from 2016. These are VIQ subtests, not PIQ subtests. I had no Letter-Number Sequencing, Matrix Reasoning and Symbol Search in WAIS test. It was WAIS-R.

I'd love a bit of lemon meringue pie right now

In fact I can't hear "lemon meringue pie" without wanting a bit

I think that the phenomenon of visual thinking is very interesting.

I have quite poor visual thinking abilities. I do not know how is to have visual thinking style although I have certain amount of visual thinking. Being high-visual thinker appears to be cool and interesting for me while having aphantasia appears to be bad, boring and potentially sad for me. Aphantasia and (or) anauralia look bad, boring and potentially sad from my perspective while anendophasia with co-occurring hyperphantasia and visual-spatial thinking style without anauralia appears "cool" and "interesting".
