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...

It's ok... life is not just relative competition.
Few are as talented, committed and possibly focused like ASDs.
So I guess I'll just keep on searchin'
Although society often imposes heavy expectations with us, we often face two problems:
One, is that we aren't able to meet its standards, and
Two, is that we failed to do what we can all achieve.
I believe there are many things that we can't do in category one. What irks me is more of...
Q:
Is there any plan for Forum W to earn more ad revenues?
As you know, Forum W is the most popular Aspie website with over 50,000 members, and there are simply a lot of people who love discussing here. The Aspie market in United States alone is made up of around 6 million people who have...
IT?S a hard life being a Singaporean and autistic at the same time. We have to live through a lifetime of disappointments, pain and discrimination.
Our parents do not have the money, the time, or the know-how to give us a full and comprehensive treatment that could maximize our potential. We...
I am planning a mini private story to myself resembling the 'what-ifs' in my family.
I am going to write about the story of a child and an estranged Chinese Singaporean father, who abandoned his child (living alone under an African American mother, due to both 'racial prejudice' and legal...
This weekend I was invited to worship with some friends who are Lutherans, and feeling like I needed a break from the Book of Acts, I accepted.
Anyway, the second reading was a real interesting one. It was taken from the end of Chapter 7 of Paul's Letter to the Romans. Unfortunately we...
I really love John Lennon's Imagine.
--- --- ---
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion, too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace
You, you may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you will join us...
I always tell all my friends three things:
If you insult my team, I'll still be nice to you but I will just say, 'I only support winning teams, so that excludes yours'.
If you think I am useless, I will either think of three weaknesses you have and list them all out, or just hear your...
My parents posed this question:
Do you want to be an ordinary person or become the most active person on Forums?
I don't know what to say!
The bread machine gives me lots of trouble, but it taught me how to think... and work things out.
I once had a bad experience being a moderator. No one ever listens and nothing ever gets done. This, despite so many leadership trainings. I don't know whether I should accept bad luck or blame, despite what I know...
So this is why I gave up on forums, until I returned back here. :)
The other day I wrote about the fact that there is no sure-fire way of determining what is God's will. Well, last night when I went to check my e-mail there was an article on the news section that talked about a 4-year-old boy who had been abandoned on a lonely Texas highway in the middle of...
It was my wish to be the moderator in another forum for Asian audiences. I hope to brng in a few supportive members around Asia (Philippines, Singapore, Malaysia etc) and i wished I can be the head of a relatively large faction in another forum, influential enough to warrant Mr Plank a visit to...
We've all heard a lot about failure; now I am going to write about the consequences of success.
Ten years ago I entered a statewide writing contest without thinking about what would happen if I won. I knew up front that there would be no prize money involved, just publication in an...
It seems our little band of missionaries has a problem. They are in Turkey (only it wasn't called that back then of course), and every time they want to go somewhere, it seems the Lord is blocking their way. They can't go north, and they can't go south. Finally Paul has a dream in which a man...
For the last few weeks I have been blogging about my journey through the Book of Acts with a local church, so I've been doing some heavy thinking about where I stand regarding religion and science, and why. (It also helps that my job, while requiring concentration and attention to detail...
Ok, here is the long-awaited answer (for anyone who really cares) about why Paul went and had Timothy circumcised at the beginning of Acts 16 when the Jerusalem Council said that new converts did not need to undergo this ritual. It's kind of ironic because right after he and Timothy go to the...
I am thinking back to the conversation I had last Sunday with the assistant pastor regarding evolution. His father, who was also part of this conversation, was very insistent that atheists are using evolution as a way of infiltrating and imposing their views on society. That's news to me, but...
As those of you who have been following this blog know, a few weeks ago I started going to church. I initially went to hear a co-worker preach, but ended up getting caught up in their study of the Book of Acts. Like playwright Oscar Wilde, who was asked to read just a paragraph for his Greek...
