I never knew. Wild story.

Apparently:

• 19 UN member states recognize Taiwan (Republic of China) as an independent country
• 57 countries recognise the Taiwanese government as representative of the Chinese people but not as an independent entity
• The holy seat (Vatican city) recognizes them as a sovereign state
• There are 10countries that don't recognize China nor Taiwan
• Vatican city was the first country to give recognition (1942)

This is all new to me.

I've got diagnosed at age 26, now 16 years ago. This was after a whole set of tests, spread over days with observation included. You need a professional because there is so much involved.

Everybody's different so even though articles and YouTube videos on the subject may seem recognisable, sometimes they also describe stuff that I don't experience.

There is no hyperactivity on the surface but that doesn't mean there is no hyperactivity at all. I for an instance became very well at hiding and suppressing the 'H' in ADHD. So much that even to me it seems like there's nothing there.

So, get tested by a professional. When' you get diagnosed, see how that can work for you. I for an instance had poor results in high school but graduated magna cum laude in law school four years ago.

Being diagnosed made me look for alternative ways of organising my life and made me more successful. At least it made me understand myself.

Your tv is a monitor. Treat it as such.

The tax that I'm talking about is calculated on the value that has been attributed by the cadastre. You pay it when you own the property without having a building or any other land use on site.

Then, when there is a building on the plot that isn't being used as intended you get taxed on that. The rate is increased by 100% every year with a maximum of 4 increases resulting in a maximal tax of 500% of the base tax.

This is besides from the standard property tax that makes up an average of 50% of municipalities incomes. There are municipalities in Belgium they get up to 90% of their working funds out of those taxes.

Jup, I'm a high functioning autist and especially in written discussions I tend to get misinterpreted. I doesn't help that English is my 4th language either.
