Oh, the bitter irony of reality. The ripest moment for me to do autism work is within the short timespan from high school graduation in November 2009 to mid-July 2010. 9 whole months of focused study on autism. And I thought just because... I used to say, well, a lot of stupid things...

What are my plans in AC that I'm still working on? (1) Meeting up members from Asia and Australia, at least online (2) Understanding the needs of Asian and Australian members (3) Having regular(formal and informal) feedback sessions with the forum leaders, as an active member (4)...

I was asking this, because it seems to me that if I wasn't the top 5 in my class of 26 for example, I may not get opportunities as I could... The issue is, am I motivated and able enough to succeed?

Used to think people are egoistic, uncaring and just sad sobbing people. I guess I'm wrong - we can't be against the world all the world. Let's accept the world as it is! To be honest, being a VIP member here really, really rules, because I'll do more with aqua.

Sometimes, when you don't get what you want and you're always reminded of it, you know things aren't right... You've got to manage those emotions in check don't you? So do I.

He appears to me as a writer who seems exasperated in the world, which had not stopped and reflected on suburbia. Well, when will we ever listen to him and his views?

I didn't join AIESEC and other clubs, even though I'd love to save the world or make a difference to my society. I just want to live out personal responsibility. When you know you just cannot get to the bigger stage of your life, what else you can do other than focus on yourself? And...

If you are autistic - and you feel that you can help the world see better how autistic feel by looking for other like-minded people. Just a question, given the opportunity that autistic people can 'save the world', how can autistic people do so? Cut defense spending? Increase education...

Brothers hurt their brothers the worst. Only brothers know what hurts their brothers the most. For example, one brother who just cannot study in a cert-oriented environment but has the intellect to do 'greater things' will be dissed, 'you're useless in society without a good piece of...

I think, well If you got three people who have the same interest to make our community better, who really wants to prove to the world that autistic people can do something - and have complementary talents to really push the group to higher heights. Unfortunately, because they cannot...

I don't know how I got hooked onto Oasis. I used to listen to music from 1953 to 1992, the golden era of perhaps the best music ever. But the easy-going and casual singing style of Liam Gallagher, coupled with the mastery of his brother Noel's songwriting, really captivated me...

I have been reading a very interesting book called "When They Severed Earth From Sky, How the Human Mind Shapes Myth" by Elizabeth and Paul Barber, and I came across a passage that I'd like to quote at length because I think it is one of the best descriptions of the gap between science and...

Well, I guess the pastor feels he needs to take a break from Acts because he announced that this coming Sunday we are going to start on the Book of Jonah. Oh, boy. Jonah is best known for his misadventure with a whale (actually a big fish), and I suspect very strongly that he (the pastor) is...
This past week I have been participating in an involuntary experiment in Amish-style living, no electricity and no running water. Of the two, not having running water was the worst. Anyway, I am back connected to the 21st century. As I walked into work Monday morning the sky was growling...

Thanks AC... For allowing me to post angsty things. I am grateful to AC forever. Maybe I'll take a break for now, because I not only removed my angst as I thought, I hoped I'd given some hope. I am sure we all can lead happier lives.

I don't know what can I think of my blog, on http://zerolionlaker.blogspot.com I know... I didn't apply to admin posts because I know I just am not suited to forums, except for some random bursts that're short. Thanks AC for helping me when I feel a little lost.

While this forum is humming with steady revenue, let's take the case of another forum: Me: Is there any plan for Forum X to earn more ad revenues? As you know, Forum X has over Y members, and there are simply a lot of people who love discussing here. The Z market in country a alone is...
