Yeah, a song I heard as a young child. For most of my life I could remember the lyrics and music well, but frustratingly I never knew the song's name. Several years ago I Googled the lyrics from memory, and I eventually found the song : it was called "Welcome to My World", originally sung by Jim Reeves.
Later I found out where I'd heard the song from: it was used in a television commercial that aired in New Zealand in the 1990s. There's even a video of it on YouTube:
Same question.

"A memory is something that has to be consciously recalled, right? But it's different from a memory locked deep within your heart. Words aren't the only way to tell someone how you feel...As long as I'm with you, as long as you're by my side, I won't give up even if I'm scared." Tifa Lockheart, Final Fantasy VII
I tend to stay away from widespread fandoms and just like what I like.
What does this song make you think of?

Probably, but it's entirely possible I wouldn't like NT me any better than I like autistic me. I'd have a much easier time finding a job I could actually perform, though, if I could just trust my vocal cords to always respond appropriately to my commands, so I'd probably at least be able to contribute in some way to society and make enough money to support myself if I wasn't autistic.
What is the thing you most enjoy doing?

After my father passed in 2002, many bullies {including two teachers} saw his passing as a reason to make the rest of my middle school years a living hell. The two teachers who indulged in bullying me believed I was making it all up as a reason to get attention for myself.
Same question.
