Everyone in my immediate family, including me, wears glasses, although my brother's vision is decent enough that he only wears his while driving.

For me many individuals with NVLD have a form of autism and (or) mental illness even when they are diagnosed as "just" having NVLD. I suppose that "social NLD" does not exist and something which is called so is a sort of pervasive developmental disorder. I also think that individuals with SCD (social communication disorder) have a PDD too.

I do not recommend using name "autism" just to ASD from DSM-V or "stereotypical autism" (Kanner's syndrome). Main traits of "genuine" autism are for me lack of adjustment to world (for example due to social inadequacy) and peculiarity. It generally lasts since childhood.

I suppose that people with "social NVLD" may have tiugher life than ones with clinical ASD because of the fact that the condition of the first is blatantly misnamed as just "learning disability" while it is an obvious pervasive developmental disorder.

I had odd Christmas requests as a kid. My mom found an old letter from Santa while she was cleaning, and apparently I asked for stuff for my pet gerbils and a broom. There was also the time at the mall when I practically left Santa speechless by asking for shoelaces (because my parents had said I needed new ones) and a jar of peanuts :lol:

I deal with a sociopathic ex husband who breaks legal agreements as well as the law daily. I am still alive. 8)

My mentality considers ones who believe in eternal damnation the worst creatures which exist at all. It is a radical universalist. It has "unitarian scrupules" which are against Catholic dogmas of Trinity and Incarnation. I know that God has to be one and only deity which exists in panexistence. He even has to be indivisible (which may be the hardest for the mind to match with trinitarianism). Volitionally I do not accept heresy. I experience great opposities.

I do not believe in reincarnation because I consider reincarnation ugly, without deal and beauty, evil, totally unaesthetic. I feel it. I do not believe in extraterrestrials due to Christian faith and also my mentality thinks that there is or at least may be something "ugly", "disordered" in existence of spiritual-physical intelligent beings with free will in more than one place in physical universe. And theory of endless or practically endless multiverse is considered by me as even worse than theory about space aliens! (Almost) infinite number of clones of people in huge number of pararell universes would be something really ugly and unaesthetic! I also feel it. Cloning multiverse would be even uglier than existence of space aliens (which some monotheists allows, but this allowance may be a heresy(?)) or even reincarnation, although reincarnation and almost infinite numbers of us in paralell universes would be significantly worse than existence of extraterrestrials.

I think that it is beautiful that God created everything which is not Him from absolute nothingness. He is closer for us than parents, spouse or children. Infinitely closer! We do not have divine element in ourselves. We could have different parents, spouses and children but the Creator could be only one and the same!

One and only God who is indivisible but despite that is three persons simultaneously can look less "irrational" for the mind than the fact that any evil, sin, suffering exist and happened, especially eternal torment (which is for my mind complete victory of evil). Sexual and procreative uglinesses and sins are very abhorrent according to my feeling. I think that sexual drive is a result of sin, although vaginal penetration of own wife for procreation of eternally saved offspring is considered a "holy celebration" by my mentality regardless of belief in possibility of eternal torment. Sexual pleasure as we know today is also considered a result of sin by my mind. Despite it I have thoughts that not always voluntary allowance to sexual pleasure is a sin or something not holy, but this pleasure is viewed as allowable only during "sacred" procreative act of spouses. In general, the husband should look at his wife like saint priest at Virgin Mary (who is very, very sweet and beutiful woman, but without sexual attractiveness) or like innocent baby at own mother.

I consider defecation, flatulence, urination, menstruation, pollution of semen things which would be absent in world in which there would be no sin at all! In the world without evil everybody would have been asexual, even spouses and parents. The same about ageing, diseases, accidents, tragedies, ugliness, temptations to sin, mental disorder (which are also a health problems and problems are not good).There would be no Aspies in the world without sin.

I got burned by an errant spark from a sparkler as a kid and have been afraid of them ever since. I also jump back any time I put anything into a pot of hot water to avoid getting splashed (it's a reflex for me) and refuse to deal with anything that's spitting grease.

I also have always been afraid of escalators, especially ones that are going down. I'm always afraid that I'll accidentally step on the divide between two stairs and be sent tumbling down when they separate, and those stairs look like they would be especially painful to fall down.

I have a fear of propane gas, but I'll use it with extreme caution.

I just finished watching Alice in Wonderland (animated) for the first time in my life.

Without realizing it, despite being raised as a Catholic and going to church every Sunday and stuff like that, over the years I developed my own religious beliefs that do not seem to line up with any specific religion. I also am content to believe what I believe and let other people believe what they believe (not meant to be accusing anyone of not being so, just another thing that sets me apart from a fair number of religions).

I think that domestic cat may be the most beautiful and cute animal which exists. It meows, purrs, has nice soft fur, four paws, triangular ears, wet nose, cute muzzle, funny whiskers etc.

I watched programs about space aliens for almost four hours yesterday despite the fact that I do not believe in any extraterrestrial civilization. I disagree with many ideas from "Ancient Aliens" series. It looks that beings thought to be space aliens are usually immaterial fallen angels. I am interested in paranormal phenomena since childhood. And I watched programs about them.

I think that if space aliens (especially the Greys) have abducted people in fact, they would have been serious sinners because of crimes against beauty of procreation of new personal beings and torturing abductees. I think that these "aliens" are unclean spirits. It is bad that such a thing like "UFO abduction" ever happened because it is immoral, against order of creation and aesthetically ugly.

The only thing at all unusual about my birth was that my mother had preeclampsia.

My brother (NT, if anyone's wondering) had whatever the word I forgot is for when the baby has its first bowel movement in utero, and he also got a bit stuck because he had a very big head. Because of those things, he had a full team of doctors/nurses attend his birth (but fortunately none of them were needed, unless my mom just didn't tell me they were).

The BM is called Meconium ^ I'm glad he was OK.

I was also born with a heart defect which wasn't detected until 2015.

In my health certificate there was written what my mother has an illness before birth of the child. It was also written that I had "dystrofia" (in literal translation "dystrophy", but it was hypotrophy, as I think). My birth weight was 2150 g and body length was 53 cm (in fact it should be some centimetres smaller). It means quite significant asymmetric hypotrophy. After my birth I was not in my home for about 33 days because of some health problems. My brother was taken to home about 7 days after birth and sister about 4 days after it. My brother appears to have no mental disorders and sister may have milder form of my sort of autism. Brother had birth weight 3600 g and body length 57 cm, sister - 2650 g and 53 cm. In me and my siblings lower birth weight appears to correlate with more mental "abnormality".

My mentality likes the word "arsen" because it is similar to impolite word for smelly body part in British English. "Arsen" in Polish means "arsenic" (chemical element with atomic number 33, very toxic, metalloid). The word "donkey" means for me the same body part as "arsen" (and Polish word for "donkey" - "osioł" - also means it).
