Explaining why I say I feel "ashamed" about my conditionThank you for making this super clear! I'm a bit sorry I brought this subject up, but I did so with the best of the intentions because you spoke...- jsilver256

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

The other day my sister and I were having a conversation about religion and she mentioned that Carl Sagan had converted to Christianity on his deathbed. I said, oh, come on, now, where did you hear this? Because it seems like any time a prominent atheist dies, these stories start circulating...
Recently they launched a "no complaining" initiative at work. The idea is that we are all supposed to think positive and be happy as an unhappy workplace is bad for morale. Well, that is true enough and very few people want to be around someone who is always negative, but I am a little...
My thoughts on fellow Asians:
Asian (not Asian-American) Forum W users: They just appear to be out-of-sync with the rest of the users, for some reason. One of the top 20 users in post number is an Asian, but that's about it.
Asian Forum A user: Despite our conflicts, the way that forum...
I will never forget the Biblical story in the Genesis 11:1-9 that I read long ago in my secondary school days. Specifically, the Tower of Babel.
I am re-reading the same book I read in secondary school all over again - and I think this really leaves us a question: how do we possibly...
I am a Singaporean by birth and I grew up there. However, visits to the People's Republic of China (PRC) amazed me. PRC is where my great-grandparents are all born. The whole country is culturally rich.
Some Chinese call me a 'ermaozi', literally translated as 'son of a foreigner'...
"Today I don't feel like doing anything, I just wanna lay in my bed" - Bruno Mars

I thought this Bruno Mars guy was writing a song specially for me!
Cos I am a lazy guy.
If you ever see me on the streets, I am simply lazy and I can't be...
In Singapore, where I currently live, three bookshops (including a certain Computer Book Store and a geomacy-themed book shop) will close this weekend, due to a combination of weakening demand and higher rents. In Britain, over this month, Harbour Bookshop and 2000 other book shops closed down...
If you want to be yourself, if this means breaking out of the norm while still keeping yourself bound to the external rules of society in the most comfortable way you feel, then why not be yourself?
I think for the time being, the form of expression I found is in clothes.
I found it hard...
The famous rugby legend Jonny Wilkinson was educated in Pierrepont School, which closed in 1993. The school was famous for developing its students' character through sports and outdoor activities. But as it was unable to produce good academic results for its students, it closed in an economic...
The biggest risks in life involve money and/or time.
Time, needless to say, is the biggest risk. If we do nothing now, we will get nothing while others get something. However, if we do something, we will risk losing some things that we would not have lost, had we not did anything. My...
There's a song that's been playing a lot lately on the local country station called "Cost of Living." It is about an unemployed Iraq/Afghanistan war veteran going for a job interview. He starts out by telling the interviewer, "Everything you know about me is right here on this page. I got a...
I have been officially diagnosed with PDD-NOS.
PDD-NOS and Asperger's Syndrome are in the autism spectrum according to my doctor, unlike previously stated.
I'll now take anxiolytics and probably start some form of therapy.
I feel nothing about all this.
I always refer the Global Financial Crisis as the new Great Depression.
Without governmental involvement, assuming the government does nothing to stop the Depression (which seemed to only make things worse), the economy would have definitely shrunk 10% or more. This fits into the technical...
I read Spinning Compass' post on Poverty. It ain't pretty, it ain't good. I dislike the idea of being hungry just to do what I love, like for example, writing. So I do not purposely seek empty dreams if this means I will be living in poverty.
However, I do not chase money alone, either. I do...
Sometimes, this term is used for an apathetic outlook. But then, for the usual person with special needs (especially autism and Asperger's Syndrome) - this term that he uttered means an optimistic outlook in face of extreme hardship.
As the famous Australian ASD advocate Garry Burge noted...
I was reading an article earlier today in Foreign Policy magazine by Mishaal al Gergawi, an Emirates Political columnist. It was about the state of America's education system and I have to say, for an outsider, he has hit the nail on the head.
He starts out by comparing America to the...
I think what Wall Street and K Street (the advocacy groups in Washington) did not see it coming, is that they bring about an age which we all fear. This is, the age of depression, suppression and regression.
The effects of the American subprime mortgage crisis has struck my country quite...
I see that Wall Street has been under seige lately by protesters, and I say it is about damn time. However, I feel that the protesters are wasting their time. All they are doing is making a lot of noise and drawing a lot of attention for the time being, but in the end when they leave and the...
I just finished reading Stephen Greenblatt's "The Swerve," which is about the rediscovery of a long-lost poem by the Roman poet Lucretius and how it changed Western civilization. Called "On the Nature of Things," it contained the most dangerous ideas about gods, religion, fear, pleasure--and...
