Explaining why I say I feel "ashamed" about my conditionThank you for understanding. I have had a few people here tell me that it's inappropriate to say that I'm ashamed of having autism on an autism...

Explaining why I say I feel "ashamed" about my conditionIt's very understandable for someone who went through trauma and neglect to feel shameful of autism. Besides shame is an emotion and emotions are...

I am still 'lost' because I am not sure where to go, especially that my portfolio mainly consists of volunteering in school-based settings for special needs people, or disparate interests from board games, economics to music. But so far, they'd all been good.
My own mostly positive...
Today I learned something new in church. I learned that actors are hypocrites.
Now for a little context. Pastor was preaching on Paul's letter to the Galatians where Paul says that he opposed Peter to his face because Peter was being a "hypocrite". He was getting along all cozy with the...
First time blogging, not sure if there are rules. I'm just posting this thought since I can't find a place in the forums that fits. I need to get this out.

Have you ever been told you...
Recently, I attended a seminar on the purpose of life.
I always wanted to do things what others around me cannot do.
In my society, there are a few tiers of talent. One tier is made up of those who can't even get into technical institutes, another tier is made up of those in technical...
We are still working our way through Galatians at church. I haven't been the last three Sundays because I was involved in a play but now it is over and I am back to "ordinary time". That's a term the Catholic church (and other liturgical churches) use to describe the time between major...
I feel sad when 4 of my friends, all Aspies, left me in the past 2 years for 'greener pastures'.
I have a few friends who gave me good vibes. I feel sad that they left.
Tom is an American-born classmate who studied in Singapore for 8 years. He decided to return to the States to study...
I realised I am a result of my circumstances. I can only be as good as what I am, as well as how I deal with expectations in changing environments.
Since I am living in an Eastern society, where family and clan are important, we are benchmarked against a clan, no?
In my clan, made up of my...
One a lil bit more positive than the previous
Don't want it.... 07/08/2012
"Well, as work have now blocked bloody Pinterest, I haven't got much to do now when it's quiet.. So looks like I'm gonna use this a bit more.
Where do I start?
After possibly 8 or more medications for...
It?s been a while since I blogged here... relatively speaking.
Recently I touched about a subject here and there about my personal situation. I?m well aware that this situation will probably not count for the majority of the users here, since it deals with Dutch regulations and laws and not...
This is my very 1st blog, I've never blogged so I hope I'm not breaching some sort of unofficial bloggers' etiquette! I hope someone actually reads it...
...Anyhow, I couldn't help but notice how many of our members seem to be in life crisis-type situations. Many people have spoken about the...
I heard on the news today that an Israeli eyeglass manufacturer is making "fuzzy glasses" to sell to Ultra-Orthodox men. The idea is to blur their vision just enough so that they can't see all of us immodest, seductive women out there. God forbid! I guess they were losing the battle over...
Working Twice As Hard To Be Seen As Half Normal - Blogs - Aspies Central - Asperger's Syndrome and Autism Forums
I do not agree that I should work to be half normal.
If normalcy is our goal, and we know when we did our best, we'll only achieve half normalcy, then it's really something to...
I dare to say:
If we ASDs choose to be ignorant, then we'll be at the mercy of ignorance.
Inconsistent, incoherent and inept. These are the three adjectives I'd use to describe some ignorant Aspies on our common issue.
We do not see the bigger picture. Can't blame us, we're all Aspies...
Today we had one of our clients come in and give a talk about some promising new compounds that we have worked on for them. For confidential reasons I can't say who it is, what the drugs are or what the disease is, but it is a major disease that affects hundreds of thousands of people...
Recently there has been a lot of discussion regarding Gary McKinnon and his UFO obsession which led him to hack into NASA's computers. As a result he is in deep, deep ****. And once again Asperger's is center stage. His mother and his supporters claim that he is too fragile to face the...
An issue I face in Pathlight School is the issue of names.
I don't like to be called by my real name. When people do a Google search on my name, we get a statement stating I have Autism. My parents are not really willing to expose my conditions to the world. I know the limits autism pose on...
Hey guys!
Bored, so I thought I'd get to know ya'll a little. :) What's everyone's favourite genres of music and which bands or artists do you like?
Mine are rock, punk, alternative, indie and RnB. I love The Kooks (indie) Greenday (rock) Paramore (emo punk) and The Pretty Reckless (rock)...
This afternoon I witnessed something very disturbing. I was having my regular therapy session (yes, the very same therapy that Dr. Worthless thinks is a waste of time). It was late in the afternoon and I was one of the last scheduled patients. Now the clinic that I go to specializes in...
After 2 years of joining AC, some things still don't change, there are a few issues that our country's (Singapore's) special needs community as a whole may still not resolve at the moment, so that we can contribute to our country better:
1. Higher education
Singapore's universities...
Felt the need to get this out. I think this will help my friends and family understand a little bit of why I am the way I am. I am still not exactly comfortable saying that I do have autism, or what type, or to what extent, without a diagnosis; even if I was, that doesn't give most people much...
