I listened to it over radio. It may be harder in Singapore than in Britain to get employment support for learning disabilities (where 15% of people with learning disabilities are employed, already at one of the highest levels of employment in the world), but I think Singapore and other Asian...
My favorite word of the dictionary is, for now, 'poltroon'. It means, according to Merriam-Webster, 'a spiritless coward'.
Look at me, I have Asperger's Syndrome and AD/HD, I also have dyslexia. My mind jumbles up fast. To add to that, I am not Albert Einsteins, who has the same conditions as...
I believe the parents should decide the child's religion for the first 18 years of the child's life. After all, the child still needs his parents to decide upon things. After age 18, things can change, and parents should respect the child's choice.
My parents will probably not respect my...
2012 is a forgettable year for me, save for the Tigers.
The Tigers did well this year. Expectations were high this year for them to get to the World Series, and win it. The Tigers initially struggled, but later recovered to win their division and the American League. Even though they lost to...
I have trouble with Megatron. I can't say his real name, because as the moderator of another Brony forum, I am not supposed to contravene the 'no-hate rule', especially against another head of another Brony forum, whom I offended and appear in their blacklist, for really working against his...
I confess:
My long absence from Aspies Central is partly, perhaps majorly, due to the developments of the American elections. I am alone amongst people whom I know except for a couple of friends who support the Republican Party, so I definitely feel miserable.
I am sympathetic towards...
I think some people are simply stupid.
Given the best resources in education, networking and even family, some people just cannot unleash their potentials in an all-supportive setting. They seek to exclude some people away from others, because they think it is fair for the other people to...
I hope someone can represent the autism community as a whole entity. This sounds ridiculous for people who have actual experience in running an autism group. However, if this does work in other countries, why not Singapore?
We should rep not just the low-functioning ones, not just the...
In My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, there is one episode that interests me: Cutie Mark Chronicles. It is about 3 young ponies (fillies) trying to get cutie marks, or at least in human form equivalents, societal recognition for their talents. They spoke to all the ponies on the way and...
When I was 9 years old, a certain Buddhist monk of a certain temple does - out of all people, he picks me out because of my limitations (Autism). And, well, I was helping my Mom to do prayers. He just says I am naughty and I don't show respect to the Sangha... Well... This is an unfair comment...
I have issues on the Mother Tongue policy, particularly the way it played out for the Indians and Chinese. (Malays have some issue, but we are all supposed to be in the region of Indonesia and Malaysia, don't we?)
Mandarin - always a sore point. For all of us. If you substitute 'Tamil' for...
I help set fire to the rain, like Adele.
I got to break away.
Because of continued troubles facing a certain tyrant in the group, who influences others and say that I'm a 'clone' of an unpopular member that I don't know well, causing my continued pain in the largest brony fan group in...

I only have a comment to be made on such news, I cannot post this on the main threads:
We can wait for ministers' pay rises or housing allowances, but 'hungry people cannot wait to eat'.
There are a few values that the University of Chicago practices for its economics and social sciences departments. The University of Chicago is where 'fun goes to die' and where Aspie Nobel Prize Laurete, Vernon L. Smith, and many other Economics Nobel Przie Winners, hail from.
Is there...
I do not commit to causes. I used to, but now, I am only committed to one and only cause: to be the truest Geordie I can ever be. This is why I am here on AC.
I respect other people's choice. Indeed, what they do is great, with good intentions. They could give free rice, form a support group...
I share all about all brain-freezing things in life, from business, sports to even... buses.
I aspire to complete an accounting certification, preferably the Chartered Public Accountant (CPA) . Some of the time, I share a few thoughts on economics, management and financial matters.
I...
My observations are: If you are really rational, work, work in any area, unless you're competent in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics).
Speaking of which, who offers the best grounding in STEM courses? I believe the ITE does. It makes everything so simple, we just work on...
Maybe I should leave us all a few questions to think about, we can review it by the end of the following year (i.e. exams). They are all relevant to costs in life.
In the city where I live, the local Subway restaurants charges around ?2.50 (in Singapore currency, S$5) for a 6-inch Classic...
Knowing that we can only be employed on a year-to-year basis and our contracts can't be renewed, and we have to do 2 months of break after every job contract ends, I always ask myself: am I really financially able to support a team of committed people to support my after-job vision?
There...
I'm a Brony, I live in Singapore, and initially, before September 2012, I was tossed around like trash in the Brony community. I was, and remain a friendly Brony who supports the current organisational structure of Singapore Bronies Society, but I can't get in there, until some friend I have...
