By this statement alone, I think she tried her best to reinforce the two values in the Pathlight School (Singapore's school for high-functioning autistic people), that is, compassion and competence.
In my opinion, Compassion and competence are not enough for the autism community in...
I have a good friend who's a backup dancer for Lady Gaga. He tells me that dance is a temporary career just for fun, you can't earn money by doing backup dancing all the time.
I don't think so, I disagreed with him. I remember the time when some guys I know decided to give flyers to me...
Autism is a spectrum.
Some of us with autism may be high-functioning and engage in quantum physics, while many more just bang their heads or go missing while their parents don't watch.
Indeed, this is the reason why many autism groups experience internal quarrels and conflicts. Some High...
Today is my wife and my 4 year wedding anniversary, so what have we done today?
Went to see if I could get my mobile phone replaced but can't because all the T-mobile shops computers systems are down. Then not long after we get back, the girl who is an ex friend has posted in a public group...
The society I live in, Singapore, has a social hierarchy.
http://www.aspiescentral.com/blog_callback.php?b=589
As I mentioned, those on the very top of the hierarchy get the opportunity to study overseas, most likely China, United States or the United Kingdom. What do those scholars do...
Part sarcasm, part truth.
A bunch of friends are all heading down to Regents Park in Camden tomorrow and apparently both him and her are gonna go. It's gonna be difficult for Char and I as Char is gonna want to spend some time with them and I won't, others will wonder why we aren't talking...
As a teenager, it is when I found myself at odds with both my being as a teen, as well as an Aspie. Why can't I be like any other person? I feel that I lived through dark ages with little Aspie support, that has only been given after my teenage years (that is, around 3 years ago).
How...
Thirteen is usually considered an unlucky number but perhaps for autistic people living in Southwest Michigan thirteen can be a very lucky number indeed. Because it was on August 13, 2012 that the Great Lakes Center for Autism opened in Kalamazoo, Michigan. The center is the first of its kind...
I think my mental model is still limited to the East, despite much exposure to other cultures here on AC. We still have implicit gender discrimination in Asia, though we try to empower ladies. Men go on to become politicians, Court-appointed judges and Directors of hospital departments, all at...
Looks un-Aspie?
Since fashion is a social construct, and Asperger's is a disorder that seems to affect social functioning, we're going to take a dig at society. After all, they seem more interested to exclude us Aspies just because of what we consistently do that society does not seem to...

Another theme that seems to be repeating itself is that of Aspies seeking to feel accepted. Many feel rejected by partners, by family members, by classmates or other friends, in the workplace, by the wider society & by their culture. I was doing some reading when the thought occurred to me...
The other night one of the Bible study members shared some "good news" about her granddaughter. This is the woman that I've written about before, the dear, sweet grandmother who told this same granddaughter that if she wasn't good she was going to Hell. Well, I let that one slide. This one I...
SMRT claims its purpose is 'moving people, enhancing lives'. Given that SMRT began to experience the effects of ageing infrastructure and train breakdowns, I start to doubt SMRT's ability to do well in the current monopolistic business environment it operates in.
Enhancing lives in the...
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.

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...
