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 enjoy reading this quote. 'I'd rather be hated for what I am, than to be loved for what I am not' - This is a classic quote by my favourite singer, Kurt Cobain. His style of angry grunge music expressed the frustrations of Generation X (those growing up in the early 1990's) and later...

The church has decided to do another vacation Bible club in my trailer park this summer. Because of my work schedule I will be unable to directly participate but I went to the planning meeting to look over the materials. Since they are expecting a wide age range in terms of participants...

Written by Keng Ann Yap, Tigris and another contributor in a forum, but I have to share these views here because it's simply too controversial to be put on a thread. A friend of mine asked me for my views about this article which offers an insight into the challenges faced by young people...

I confess: I believe some of my friends are leading lives that they don't examine much. And they think it is still worthwhile. Sometimes you have to ask yourself, why live life the way you do. Why do we do this, why do we do that, what do we want to achieve in our lives. So I ask...

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...
We are now studying Paul's letter to the Galatians and quite frankly I find it baffling It's too bad the reaction of his Galatian readers hasn't survived because I wonder if they would be equally baffled. Galatians is one of the most anti-Jewish books of the New Testament Sure, it contains...
When one bright student suddenly experienced low grades in school or college, help should be immediately given. I know this because I was once one such student myself. I did not do well in exams despite reasonably high motivation and competence, due to personal issues regarding disappointment...

We will provide our services for High Functioning Autistic people, or HFAs in short. HFAs are people who had been successful thus far in the mainstream institutions, regardless of previous experience in special schools or other similar institutions, and this is our definition of HFAs. As...

We must be ready to admit that we hadn't been able to serve Aspies and Auties well, because many Aspies and Auties choose to leave Singapore, as we don't have the good fortune to connect. That's why, we have to admit that we feel helpless we cannot help to change media's perception now...

These are the issues on how cultural aspects do affect People with Special Experiences (PSEs). (1) There are family/clan-based politics. Asian society is patriarchal in general. The first son in the family is almost prepared to succeed the position of leading the whole clan. If he has a...

Earlier today I met up with my social worker to check up on my disability benefits files, and see if it's all correct. Over the weekend I had a moment of clarity (a seeminly rare occaision) and as such reflected a bit with forms I had to fill in, in mind. I got to them and obviously one of...
So I checked out our competition's webpage. No real surprises there. I dare say I could walk into one of their services and not notice much of a difference. They advertise themselves as a nondenominational congregation that stresses the Bible. So does mine. On one hand it's an essentially...

Am finding the site generally a bit of a mine field. How do I upload photos or albums, and all the other stuff on the profile page, which I can't remember now cos I'm on this page. I am doing my best to keep up with the "smart techno" generation, but I'm afraid my generation gap is showing. :eek:

Uh-oh. We have competition. Another strip-mall plaza evangelical church has opened its doors just a mile or so down the road. You know, one of those hip, trendy churches with an edgy, nonthreatening name. In fact, that is its name. The Edge. So now we have The Edge along with Freshwater...
Last week the assistant pastor preached on Baptism. I wasn't there as I had another commitment but I heard about it and I guess it was quite an interesting sermon. This particular church does not believe in infant baptism but apparently they will baptise children if Pastor is convinced...

Well, the heat wave seems to be over, at least for now. At one point we were one degree hotter than Death Valley (though not for long) and 23 degrees hotter than Las Cruces, New Mexico. The record was 105 WITHOUT factoring in the heat index. The Weather Channel seems to think that this is the...

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...
