I realised I am a result of my circumstances. I can only be as good as what I am, as well as how I deal with expectations in changing environments.
Since I am living in an Eastern society, where family and clan are important, we are benchmarked against a clan, no?
In my clan, made up of my...
One a lil bit more positive than the previous
Don't want it.... 07/08/2012
"Well, as work have now blocked bloody Pinterest, I haven't got much to do now when it's quiet.. So looks like I'm gonna use this a bit more.
Where do I start?
After possibly 8 or more medications for...
It?s been a while since I blogged here... relatively speaking.
Recently I touched about a subject here and there about my personal situation. I?m well aware that this situation will probably not count for the majority of the users here, since it deals with Dutch regulations and laws and not...
This is my very 1st blog, I've never blogged so I hope I'm not breaching some sort of unofficial bloggers' etiquette! I hope someone actually reads it...
...Anyhow, I couldn't help but notice how many of our members seem to be in life crisis-type situations. Many people have spoken about the...
I heard on the news today that an Israeli eyeglass manufacturer is making "fuzzy glasses" to sell to Ultra-Orthodox men. The idea is to blur their vision just enough so that they can't see all of us immodest, seductive women out there. God forbid! I guess they were losing the battle over...
Working Twice As Hard To Be Seen As Half Normal - Blogs - Aspies Central - Asperger's Syndrome and Autism Forums
I do not agree that I should work to be half normal.
If normalcy is our goal, and we know when we did our best, we'll only achieve half normalcy, then it's really something to...
I dare to say:
If we ASDs choose to be ignorant, then we'll be at the mercy of ignorance.
Inconsistent, incoherent and inept. These are the three adjectives I'd use to describe some ignorant Aspies on our common issue.
We do not see the bigger picture. Can't blame us, we're all Aspies...
Today we had one of our clients come in and give a talk about some promising new compounds that we have worked on for them. For confidential reasons I can't say who it is, what the drugs are or what the disease is, but it is a major disease that affects hundreds of thousands of people...
Recently there has been a lot of discussion regarding Gary McKinnon and his UFO obsession which led him to hack into NASA's computers. As a result he is in deep, deep ****. And once again Asperger's is center stage. His mother and his supporters claim that he is too fragile to face the...
An issue I face in Pathlight School is the issue of names.
I don't like to be called by my real name. When people do a Google search on my name, we get a statement stating I have Autism. My parents are not really willing to expose my conditions to the world. I know the limits autism pose on...
Hey guys!
Bored, so I thought I'd get to know ya'll a little. :) What's everyone's favourite genres of music and which bands or artists do you like?
Mine are rock, punk, alternative, indie and RnB. I love The Kooks (indie) Greenday (rock) Paramore (emo punk) and The Pretty Reckless (rock)...
This afternoon I witnessed something very disturbing. I was having my regular therapy session (yes, the very same therapy that Dr. Worthless thinks is a waste of time). It was late in the afternoon and I was one of the last scheduled patients. Now the clinic that I go to specializes in...
After 2 years of joining AC, some things still don't change, there are a few issues that our country's (Singapore's) special needs community as a whole may still not resolve at the moment, so that we can contribute to our country better:
1. Higher education
Singapore's universities...
Felt the need to get this out. I think this will help my friends and family understand a little bit of why I am the way I am. I am still not exactly comfortable saying that I do have autism, or what type, or to what extent, without a diagnosis; even if I was, that doesn't give most people much...
I feel that where awareness fails, not saying about our conditions will gain us a higher probability of acceptance, assuming our achievements come first before. And don't we need acceptance for the good we do?
Eventually, our aim is to create enough societal acceptance for us to live - and...
Hello, I am Deno. I self diagnosed myself with Asperger's approximately three days ago. I plan to get a official diagnosis as soon as possible, but I have no doubts that I have finally come to an answer as to why I feel so different from the rest of the world (at least the people I have spoken...
There's a country song out right now that kind of sets me on edge when I hear it. It's called "Something About a Truck" and the opening lyrics go "Something about a truck in a farmer's field. No Trespass sign. Nobody's gonna get hurt so what's the big deal?"
So what's the big deal? The...
I fell out with Megatron, my arch-rival. He says when one is not great, he cannot bring acceptance for his being as a person. He doesn't accept substandard work, even if they're the best the person can give.
Doesn't he know that some people are just struggling to survive? Try being unemployed...
Well I went to see Dr. Worthless this week and apparently now I am cured of what he thought I probably didn't have in the first place. He said my blood glucose and thyroid levels were fine so it wasn't that. Surprise. Anyway I definitely don't have carpal tunnel syndrome now even if I might...
The world seems to need division of labour and specialisation, though they are incomplete, without a basic core of values to guide them along, in order to survive.
DPM Tharman commented on a speech that in Singapore and in many industrialized countries, a general degree is ''less highly...
