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 is managed make it ok for us to co-exist here.

I know all users there from Singapore personally. In real life, I don't like them, because we were all involved in a failed autism project. We were supposed to do a project involving our strengths together. But we got into terrible nitpicking. Imaging us, instead of uncovering our strengths, we pick out our weaknesses and we attack at each other's stims, behavioural issues and failures in life. We might have talked about sense, but there is no comforting arm to hold us together and tell us, we are all in this together for a common challenge...
We all don't get what we want. We all just wasted time and energy into it. We are all too egoistic - and there is no great people in our very own forum like Droopy, Aillas or ICM to really enforce civility with both firmness and flexibility, for our needs. Or should I honestly say, I am not like them. It's demoralizing for me to fail on my own terms...

This is why I don't trust my local Aspie forum - I actually like other forums, even Forum W, more than that forum - even though I had the benefit of contributing to that forum's effectiveness in our lives.
Maybe I should know that they think they know my conditions well. I ask them to reflect on whether they have their autistic behaviour and whether they can totally eradicate them to adapt to the NT world. As for me, I ask for nothing for them except to live alone here (while still going around to seek for acceptance for my whole being) and live my own individuality, for that's what I always like.

Asians in real life: Well, as long as autism is not in the equation, I actually love Asia as it is. Asians, once they tap on their iPhones and look out for Autism... Will immediately change their perspectives on me as an autistic, no matter how good am I.

Seriously, I think nothing should stop us from achieving our dreams, even if it sounds impossible or improbable. Nothing will. No matter what others say about our social skills, our weird vibes, blah blah.
