There is a couple in my church whom I will call Bill and Sandra, though obviously those are not their real names. Bill and Sandra are in their late 70's. Sandra is battling cancer, and the long-term prognosis is not good. Yet she tries not to let it get her down or affect her faith.
Bill...
Yesterday I wrote a little bit about a young man I met over Thanksgiving who had ADHD. I'm going to call him "Jonathan" although that is not his real name.
I run into people like him quite frequently and it really breaks my heart because on one hand, he is a very nice person with a lot of...
I really really need more stuffed animals to carry with me. They decrease my panic attacks.
This started when I was a child.
As of now I have a Hello Kitty but all of my old stuffed animals are back in Louisiana from before I ran away. I want a Gloomy Bear and more Kitty's, bunnies...
Yesterday I was invited over to a friend's house for Thanksgiving dinner, and afterwards we went into the living room to watch TV. Now, I don't own a TV for personal reasons (none of them having to do with religion!), so it is very interesting from an outsider's standpoint to just sit back and...
Every now and then at church or Bible group, someone (usually Pastor) will mention that in the "original" Hebrew or Greek, a word or a passage will actually mean something slightly different from the translation we have been using (English Standard Version). Now, I find it interesting from a...
Right after lunch I got an e-mail today from the supervisor of a department that I have been cross-training in. He said he wanted to see me. I thought, uh-oh, this is not good. And I was right.
Apparently I have been continuing to make the same mistakes that he talked to me about a while...
Migration, the term that describes a species which for its continued survival, it must leave a place for better pastures and to exploit better food sources, the term now drives with many Singaporeans especially these recent years, to leave the country for new worlds.
This trend is also...
It is said that autistic people are poltroons. They are wretched cowards who stand in the way of success. They stand in the way for the accomplishments of their organization's, their family's and for some cases, even their very own successes.
I do not know how the negative attitudes in...
When we last left our friend Paul the Apostle, he had just been rescued from a bloodthirsty mob by the Romans, and now he is on the steps of the Antonia Fortress, bruised and bleeding, propped up between a couple of soldiers, and he is about to address the crowd that tried to kill him. And what...
I feel that everyone knows autism. Just type on your smartphone and you'll get a definition of autism. But people use this awareness of autism for their purposes, for better or for worse. I also feel that there are some things some people cannot adapt - this is also why I know many others don't...
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...
