Well this promises to be an interesting summer and not just because they are predicting record heat (100 degrees F for tomorrow). Even my company is concerned about the heat and telling people to power down equipment and dim lights as much as possible. You can say all you want to about global...

Someone I knew made an observation: Some group of people live a land where food is so easy to find. You can catch a fish, grab one coconut, harvest one banana and lay down on the sandy beaches, all within the yard of your house, for 1000+ years. Then a group of people came to the land...

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...

The other day I was eating lunch in the cafeteria when I overheard a conversation from the table in front of me. This girl was making fun of another employee, talking about her face being "too small". I looked up from my book to see who the speaker was. Well, let me tell you she wasn't any...

As some of you know, I have been taking a break from the Internet and Aspies Central because I developed a problem with my hands. I am still having some problems but not as much thanks to the excellent therapy I have been doing. Back in April I went to a health fair and talked to a man at an...
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...

I needed to write all this down because I'm feeling so crappy and low and I need to just vent because of it all. I'm so fedup with myself, I just want to be able to make friends and talk to people in a normal way. I see people interacting all the time and it's so easy for them or it seems...
As a member of the JC PDSN community, we face a few challenges. (1) We do not have employable skills. JCs don't teach them. We are trained to be academics, not employees of a firm. So when we go to the job market even after university, we will lose out to other job entrants who have 'job...

Much has been said and commented on this Singapore-specific issue. I can only say, this represents the dark side of Aspie and Autie people in Singapore. It made me think about this issue for a few days. I wasn't able to come back here on Aspies Central on the right frame of mind. I am both...

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...

As a volunteer for those with learning differences, I have confidence that things will work out well for all of us. However, we will first need to accept ourselves before we accept other people like us. My experience is, in all countries, from Australia, United States to Singapore, what...

Currently, left-wing politics is the hope for Europe and most other industrialised nations in the world. Social change for an egalitarian society should be achieved, as the Left Wing emphasised in their rallies. On the other hand, right wingers support or acceptance of social hierarchy, as...

I don?t usually like to talk about some things but here I am and I suppose that if I don?t talk about things I give them free rein to run roughshod all over my life, I actually try to take control more often than not, I try to head it off at the pass and I don?t allow it to take full possession...

Ok, take a deep breath. I am about to wade into some pretty turbulent waters here. I want to start out by saying I don't know what the outcome of this case will be or ought to be. I'm glad that I am not on the jury because I don't think this is going to be a cut-and-dried situation. I...

Well, President Obama has finally come out in favor of gay marriage. I say hurrah for him. Quite frankly I don't really care one way or another but it's interesting how often the word "benefits" keeps cropping up in regards to marriage as opposed to "love". Maybe it's time to take a good hard...

I am taking a break from Wagner for the time being; even though I enjoy the story and the acting all that high-pitched singing in a language I don't understand gets on my nerves after a while. Honestly, they could condense the story down to two or three hours and not miss anything. But you...

Not long ago, while browsing through a catalogue I found the complete production (all 15 hours) of Wagner's Ring Cycle as presented at the Bayreuth Festival in Germany. Although I grew up listening to the music, and knew the basic plot, I'd never seen it performed. So I ordered it, and have...

Earlier today I had to hand in a copy of my diagnosis to social services, so they can look if they can give me support. Which I don't mind at all, I'm not that much of a rebel, lol. However; looking at it, a few points came to mind. And it made me wonder a bit about cause and effect, and what...
With a chance of getting the advice like "making a thread will get more people to respond" I'll keep headstrong and try the blog first ;) Quite often I ramble about employment, education, social services and how that all ties in (or depending what your stance is "messes") with autism in the...
