Recently a comment was made on one of the forums that "dark age treatments" that force people on the spectrum to deny who they are and adopt normal modes of behavior is somewhat like what was done to Native American and Aboriginal children who were stripped of home and culture and made over into...

You may wonder, why do I bother to set up an interest group for AC users interested in Southern American culture. Well, I think Southern America is much more positive as a culture than Singapore, for a Singaporean like me. It is because while I do not deny I am a Singaporean, I am, first and...

Yesterday Pastor preached a sermon against superficiality. He says we all need to get more involved with each other and be more "authentic". He gave as an example someone asking how you are and you just say fine. Fine apparently isn't good enough. We need to open up more, share our emotions...
I posed this question, Should Singapore consider a 12/13-year compulsory education, where every Singaporean pays no fees for ITE, Polytechnics and JCs? The Singapore education system is divided into primary schools, secondary schools (middle schools), junior colleges (preparatory high...

Humanity should save turtles for a better world for all of us, living in this world. Aren't those turtles too cute to not to save them from extinction, either through our ignorance continuing our actions that hurt these turtles (like the use of plastic bags without re-using), or by our...

What do I want? I'm not sure anymore. But I do know what I do NOT want! I DO NOT WANT your unwanted kittens or puppies. I am not running an animal rescue. Take them to the pound yourself. I DO NOT WANT your broken-down lawn mower. I don't have room to store it and I don't have money...

In the past, before 2002, as Prof. Tyler Cowen wrote in his book ?Discover Your Inner Economist?, he mentioned that the United Nations diplomats enjoyed legal immunity for any parking tickets they incur when they are on their missions to the United States. Canadian, Irish, Dutch, British m...

Loudly proclaiming to my High School when given the thought that the Founding Father of Singapore will die someday, I simply shouted, 'Freedom!' Well, my autism condition gets exposed afterwards, and I was not allowed to sit for Project Work, hmm, I mean, some examinable subject with assigned...

Building a broad-based society for the good of autistic people is never easy, especially for a never-ending issue like autism. Especially so in Singapore, where much more can be done for the good of all Aspie and Autie individuals. As the most effective governments in the world work for the...

The Internet broke down last week. Thereafter, I decided to read over 15 books on economics and society. After reading them, I just realized I hadn't achieved comparative advantage in what I am doing. I have to quit all the groups I dislike. Unlike the very supportive and open-minded AC, where...

Over the course of history, people have used fancy ideologies and control the masses and gain power - and they prosecute them afterwards. It can be seen in past history, especially with regards to countries who chose Communism and its classless society, but failed. The elites still...
I am getting an accounting degree, I foresee myself to work as an accountant, and I may be forced to do a full-time job in that area, but I really dislike it. Others see me as a success. I call it a failure, because look, I got to confess, being an unemployed bus fan collecting bus information...

I always have a powerful vision guiding me that whatever I do should lead me to a sense of completion, in whatever things I do. I value completion because my purpose is to empower the society as a whole. The society should give hope to all, through continuous tangible and measurable progress. I...

The Member of Parliament (working in a similar function to a Representative and/or a Senator in the United States) representing my electoral district, termed a constituency in my home country, is simply useless. He has a negative track record of working for the good of the disadvantaged...
