I feel like there is no "planet" that i belong to other then being on one totally by myself. No matter where I go to try to talk to others that have the same interests as me, i never really feel like i am "part of the group". i always feel like i am on the outside looking in, watching the world...
My closest friend is my sister. We've always been close, but many times she has mentioned that she only put up with me because I'm her sister, and if we weren't related we probably wouldn't be friends. I admit, I complain a lot, and I'm incapable of reading in between the lines, I don't listen...
I had always been highly motivated in everything I do. This is especially true, more so for a few causes I really believe in. They are:
(1) Ensure appropriate education in mainstream environments, e.g. schools and universities
(2) Bringing an inclusive workplace in Singapore that accepts...
I hope that we have a lot of social contacts to work on, but that we work on our individual selves. The dream of 'By Aspies For Aspies' is outmoded, because what is the good of having only Aspies? Surely the world is much more larger than merely Aspies, although we're somewhat oppressed.
But...
Our utopia:
The weather is cool at around 50 to 70 degree Fahrenheit (or 10 to 20 or so degree Celsius) around the year, sunny almost all the time, the water is plentiful with no water restrictions in the summer, there are no floods, no earthquakes, the occasional wildfire that is effectively...
My interests include looking at current and future developments in Singapore (and other countries), and see how we can develop our cities, where more than 50% of the gloabl population lives, to see how can we make our cities more liveable. Zoning is not the solution. The solution would be having...
I not entirely certain I understand friendship either, in the most popular sense, after all were supposed to excuse the behavior of these certain few people and not behave in certain ways with them because we are closer to those people we call friends than we are to the ones we define as...
Money is the currency of modeRn life though it isn't the currency of love.
I always hear complaints that he hasn't got enough money to have a girlfriend and a house. I'm also concerned that many of us do indeed worry about having no money left to feed our families even in Singapore...

So then Monday came around and I kept her off school, if i'd have sent her in no doubt she would have had a meltdown, plus her soiling had become worse, it was every 30 mins now. I called the doctor to check how high a dose she can have of movicol with her kidney...
Had a terrible week of meltdowns and tantrums(me and my daughter). Last Tuesday(not yesterday) she came home from school and was in a bit of a mood, I could tell something was brewing and that she was upset, I asked how her day was but got a usual "it was alright". She didn't want to play she...
It's a question I've been asking myself the past few days. It's also a question I've been asking a few of my friends.
I feel a lot of people don't really care for a lot of talents, except what they're being educated/trained for. They get educated, get a degree, land a job and that's that...
What if I were to tell you that I was really different,
What if I were to tell you that I born to be set apart from this world,
What if I were to tell you that I was once broken into a thousand pieces,
Would you have believed that all these things about me?
What if I were to tell you that...
So, how autistic are you?
And by that, I like to delve a bit deeper into situation and comfort level.
I remember that years ago, and I'm talking +10 years ago, autism in general didn't occur to me to be a label that would fit me. I had my own mannerisms, got into some trouble here and...
I've gone through several cameras in my life, the most recent have been digital. The one you see in my profile pic was a favourite for a few years but it didn't have optical zoom which I love. my latest of recent years is a CANON PowerShot SX100 IS with 8.0MegaPixils and 10X optical zoom. I can...
I do not belong to where I am today.
Singapore reminds me of Washington D.C - except that it's too uncomfortable to be considered as a 'home'. It can be quite intellectual for those who want to scratch beyond the surface, it can also be vibrant that is on par with the usual Asian cities. And...
I think poverty is the greatest deterrent to personal success. But after poverty, the biggest obstacle is the desire to have a coordinate effort for self-improvement in the Aspies.
With wealth, Bob Wright decided to try to cure his autistic grandchild. This is why we have (censored). What a...
I'm beginning to notice how overprotective and sugar-coated the world is today, or at least it is in the United States. Professional football has turned into a game of pansies trying as much as they can to not hurt opposing players ("Roughing the Quarterback") while wearing nearly three times as...
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...
In my previous blog(s), I wrote about seeing a therapist, a possibility to be on the spectrum, getting a diagnosis and all. It's been about 2 weeks after my therapist told me that this was the end of the road with him. I have yet to phone another therapist who should get me more towards the path...
