I, Autistic but not Stupid

factual complaint? You mean we have members who have connections to the U.N?

You don't really need contacts with the U.N to voice a concern.

My not knowing the political dynamics of your country means I cannot understand what your needing and not needing ultimately. Here in the U.S your beliefs toward the media may likely mean some kind of delusion but in other countries well it just might be true.

I will explain our situation in Singapore later when I am more free. But just know that Aspies are not treated well in singapore and those who can leave the country have left.

To quote a member on my forum. Here is our big picture of our situation here

I think that what I am doing locally where I live which is creating an adaptive, accommodating and skills development environment with the support of the public is reasonable. People have stereotypes, don't look to the human spirit to include and well despite discrimination being a hidden thing I cannot find the absolute to in situations all the time it is a reasonable compromise. The integrity of such enterprises need to be secure but I highly suggest duplicating my model in other areas. By means of this model an area based inclusion framework can better facilitate human right integrations and adaptations.

But is it a U.N issue if say we reveal our condition to employer and we get job discrimination? Revealing our autism doesn't get us banned but it will lead to a lifetime of discrimination and joblessness.

Undiagnosed and diagnosed cases in the military in Singapore which has conscription, tend to suffer bullying and in my group alone two of them have been expelled from the army becos they went suicidal. In Singapore, you are exempted from conscription, you will face more problems finding a job as the society looks down upon men who dun serve their 2 years in the military.

If say if members who wish to contact the UN want to help Aspies in Singapore, I say please go ahead but just be careful.

I think A.S is very mild autism or some will be dropped entirely with the new DSM revisions. I am having a hard time understanding if one can figure out how to do a job the military, have the coping skills and transitional tolerability for it why do they have a diagnoses in the first place. I suppose my kind of advocacy differs from your relevant concerns.

I know but if declaration of your mental conditions will lead to joblessness, I must say that is not fair. Singapore's society unlike the US in my impression, is very discriminative of people with mental disabilities.

Anyone here who has links to the U.N perhaps?

America is similar but I heard Ireland is great for those with psychosis. Autism where I live is not viewed so much as a mental illness but can be confused with mental retardation. Part of my job is to show myself as a person with autism for awareness reasons and that I am capable of things. Even capable of helping people with major cognitive impairment. Autism however is viewed as a cognitive disability as well but is not the same as the severe mental cognitive impairment.

I see but in the US they do not discriminate them from jobs right?

There is seldom a known absolute but yes I've seen business owners openly discriminate by calling us "the kids" and incapable of filing away videos in a video store. The control area of social experimentation is about to experience a year long psychosocial programming which I cannot explain in depth here.

But they overall are still hired and can hold a job right?

The spectrum of disabilities in context is quite wide. Bias of providers servicing individuals with developmental disabilities for retention may hinder outcomes for reasons of profitability. A lack of proper public relations in the past 50-60 years has resulted in very little change. I am in charge of my areas inclusion campaign and set rules to better address inclusion bias in this psychosocial experiment. See a letter from my congressman.
