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...- AprilR

Recently Disney's "Cars 2" was released onto DVD. In the first "Cars" movie, world-champion race car Lightning McQueen finds himself stranded in a small town off the beaten track. At first McQueen thinks he is too good for the cars that live there but by the end of the movie he has come to...
Lately the Occupy Movement has been getting a lot of press. While I certainly am in sympathy with the Occupiers' grievances, as I wrote in another blog, the issues they are protesting are not as clearcut as they would like to believe. In fact, I am concerned that the protesters may be hurting...
The challenges of people I personally perceive include one or some of the following:
?I am superior to other people so I have the responsibility to do what I had been instructed to do?.
?I know what I am doing is definitely right. I do not think that certain ideas here work.?
?I...
Do you set a personal target for yourself?
While some (the top three people on the list especially) choose to challenge a certain level of artistic mastery, some choose to challenge a perceived unbreakable record (the four-minute mile). Some, though, want to win others.
The first, Tracy...

I think we should focus on the ability of the autistic individuals, instead of the can't.
We are living in unprecedented tough times. Never before did unemployment rate soar up so high...
What the people want: No increase in the burden of living. No increases to living costs. Increases in standard of living.
What the top 1% does: Controlling wealth. Monopolizing industries. Cooped in their bureaucratic fantasies.
What 99% of the population get: Higher costs of living...
I always ask this question to organizations, where do you get your funding from?
School-based organisations will always say, the school granted me the money!
Then one of the autism groups I joined said they are funded by another autism group, which has a different strategic direction from...
That's what some thing my life is.
No, far from the truth.
Despite my family having one of the mere 10 Nissan GT-R R35 in both Singapore and Malaysia, and that most of my family members are doctors or working in lucrative healthcare professions, I have zero interest in nice cars, medicine...
I'm from a very small town (about population 350) so honestly I've never encountered a true gangster. But what I have seen is the people who think they are gangsters. This pisses me off. So much. Not because they're "posers" but because no one ever stops and wonders WHY you would DESIRE to be a...
What do you call the person of Chinese descent who actually feels like 'White'?
My grandmother, like many Singaporeans of Chinese descent, decided to use this description to me. Specifically, she called me 'Hin Jiu Lang', which just literally means, 'banana man'. Unlike her sons, I...
Used to be the case when I was an Apple fan. We owned every Apple stuff as soon as they were out. I am always happy whenever I got the freshest Apple gear.
However, after a few years using Apple, I always feel disappointed with the products I am using. I forgot that I paid tons of money...
My username suggests I live in North-east England.
My mannerisms suggest I am really into Japanese stuff, despite me not posting much about it.
I have the fantasies to visit the Rockies every night.
But I am still in Singapore.
Why do I feel slightly out of place in...
Back in the prosperous Fifties, a time that seems so far away now, Ayn Rand wrote a novel which became a cult classic, "Atlas Shrugged." It is a sort of economic "Left Behind" novel, in which all the wealthy people start disappearing with all their money and what happens when they do.
Well...
Recently, I spoke to a family friend, who is a Badger and Cardinal fan (he graduated from University of Wisconsin-Madison and Stanford Medical School).
We talked about some Big Ten football - how Michigan State and Wisconsin are cruising in their respective divisions (Legends and Leaders...
I thought Tuesday is even a sadder day than Monday.
Monday has already been a chore. It?s like lessons after lessons, work after work, and mindless thing after another mindless thing. I don?t know what?s next, other than maybe writing my pathetic situation to everyone.
My head is...
We are now up to Acts 21, where Paul gets into a riot at the Temple in Jerusalem and is rescued by Roman soldiers. And if anyone wants to write an action scene well, they could do worse than to study verses 27:39. Just a few short sentences, but even in translation they have lost none of their...
We can't stop autism genes from being identified, so that we can be extinct if people think having them is having too much of a risk to take...
But one thing we can do - now, while we are still alive, let's rediscover humanity...
And we now have a lack of it.
Because we choose to...
One of my favorite movies when I was growing up was the "Wizard of Oz". It was an annual routine in my family, get out the homemade popcorn (no microwaves in those days), gather around the old black and white TV set, and settle down for an evening of fun and fantasy. Once we got past the...
I do not belong to where I am today.
Singapore reminds me of Washington D.C - except that it's too uncomfortable to be considered as a 'home'. It can be quite intellectual for those who want to scratch beyond the surface, it can also be vibrant that is on par with the usual Asian cities. And...
I think poverty is the greatest deterrent to personal success. But after poverty, the biggest obstacle is the desire to have a coordinate effort for self-improvement in the Aspies.
With wealth, Bob Wright decided to try to cure his autistic grandchild. This is why we have (censored). What a...
