Where has all the money gone? I'd like to know. It seems like all you hear on the news is governments being broke. And we aren't talking Third World countries, we are talking First World countries. Recently the US had its credit rating downgraded, and they are still trying to raise the debt...

While I write this post, I get the feeling that my idea may not be heard in the circles that need to listen to my opinions the most. Friends accused me of propagating ideological differences, in my own autism self-help group. I feel the blame passing around, which could be unseen in various...

I just want to say... The presidential elections in Singapore is coming. I hope to vote for that dissident candidate. Because only he provides an alternative to what we assume to be right. Too bad... Not all can see my point.

I just feel tired and listless. I don't feel like to do anything for ASD, special needs etc. I just want to do things all day long and hang in the library, reading and reading and reading... And maybe do a few jobs for friends. I just lost the motivation to do anything that's not work or...

sometimes when you aren't heard in your community and in your society, all you need is just one simple thing: ignorance. if we don't know what happens around us, and still do our thing, we'll do good - because that's what we're doing. why stress ourselves doing something we can't do well...

Some prayers I would really like to pray in church small group but don't have the nerve: Lord, one of your saints once said, "If that is the way you treat your friends, it's no wonder you have so few of them." Well, S. over there, you know she has been battling cancer for months. You know...

I don't know what to do. There is a friend I have been avoiding for some time, and I feel badly about it. We've known each other for several decades, one of the few people who've stayed in contact with me and I with them. So I feel especially badly about "abandoning" her but I honestly do not...

Well, Jonah is finally in Nineveh spreading his cheerful message of 40 days more and Nineveh will be overthrown. And an amazing thing happens. Instead of being picked up and thrown out the city gates by the city guards, everyone from the king on down believes him and calls for a fast. This...

It could be helpful to see that although there are times I say the wrong things, or do the wrong things, or even doing the right things at the wrong time - so I have to wait for a bus longer, think of idea longer and do more rubbish - I still face them, without fear. 'Oh, my definition of the...
So, I finished my first year of university a couple of months back. For the most part it's been fantastic - there have been some irksome moments, but on the whole it's been as I expected. I've passed the first year, the second is where the actual work starts (first year doesn't count...

I feel that for countries with less autism resources, smaller autism groups, especially those led by autistic people themselves, with the national autism organization, whenever possible, in the framework of both equality, and the focus to maximizing ASDs' potentials, should do more good than...

Most people wear skinny jeans, a skinny tee and nice suede shoes, in where I live. They can also wear shorts, singlets and slippers. I don't like them all - I like a baseball hat, a comfortable T-shirt that's clean, track pants or baggy jeans, hooded sweatshirt when it's cold, and sneakers...

It is also troublesome to have two ASDs being close together, and becoming either best of friends and worst of enemies. Because the more they know each other, through their common problems and struggles, the more they can also potentially hurt each other. An ASD, whom I shall not name, did...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WiMRyd06N6E I got to know AspiesCentral, through Ian's emai. Dreams do indeed come true! Just believe. And I'm glad the Newcastle United logo is indeed that Geordie in Singapore - me. Living through at least seven similar forums, I'd seen no other...
