Yeah but hope is probably coming. Some of the average Singaporeans including Aspies are starting become braver. They are prepared to do a Tunisia in Singapore. It may not succeed becos voting is biased here in Singapore. If you spoil a vote in Singapore, it goes to the ruling party.

I am unable to provide input on this subject as a limitation of my job. I wish you well in life.

Thank you but I am just a lowly Singaporean. however I hope if Ci knows anyone here who has UN connections. You are free to tell him. The Opposition parties here may not be taken seriously by the UN. One of the opposition guys even made a video addressed to Obama.

Why don't you post the video. U.N connection are not needed otherwise those with connections who make the decisions to get U.N input would be like dictators. W.P seems to be a facilitator of free expression. So perhaps others can send the U.N emails in support of your views or to simply have the U.N see about what is going on.

The limitation in context to my job is I cannot incite unknown behavior that could potentially lead to violence or directly imply violence especially if the topic is not my specialty. It would be bad for my job so I cannot really explicitly facilitate your needs myself. So should you will to incite a reaction by members this is fully allowed by W.P I'd think. Again this subject you speak of is not my specialty. By the way I am the boss so I make my own rules as I go.

How does this apply to Aspies? Becos we in Singapore are discriminated against by society as there are no laws like in US to protect our right to work, to be educated and insured. As i take in more members in my group, I find that I am hearing stories of discrimination, bullying and exploitation. Most of my members are seeking to leave Singapore in order to escape discrimination.

You just had a video posted that seemed quite good. Autism as a national security concern was originally brought up by Vaccine folks and then from there. National security analytics make being fat into a national security concern. We in America have it very good. However disclosure of a disability prior to being hired incites discrimination and prevents employment anyways due to bias.

The idea is that as facilitators in the form of self-advocacy or otherwise autism groups we might entice employment transitions by means of public relations. Typically this model is best used for those with obvious functional limitations but under law in California a broad spectrum of individuals qualify for facilitation services in which disability may appear less apparent. In my psychosocial experimentation I am using stickers whereas a business is licensed so as long as a business sponsors so many hours a month to place an inclusion sticker on a door and or window of the business. In many circumstances being part of a business and working increases quality of life, develops skills, confidence and may with additional strategy create self-sufficient employment. This model is a human rights inclusion facilitation utilizing public relations and adaptive facilitations with support workers but on site transitional peer support can work just as good especially for those with transitional (including rigidity) difficulties preventing employability initially.

I hope I am finding the conversation context.
