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 happened.
While others are learning how to earn money and through it, service a greater cause - I believe I have the inside knowledge, passion and know-how - to do very, very well in autism work.
There is some tinge of disappointment that well, did not work, because I just failed to be really focused to in those 9 months, to really stay true and close to my plans, and work them out.
Then... well, all the things I said, people just don't listen! And I know time is running out... Because after August, if nothing happens, then nothing will happen!
Indeed - something did happen - I did voice my concern of the lack of jobs that made me do my autism advocacy work anyway - fortunately somebody did something - this could be the only, but still works-in-progress legacy I can ever give to ASDs in Singapore.
While I can now only muster 6 hours to sleep, 2 hours to work on my strengths and others to lead the life I feel I have to 'follow' - then, it was live, sleep and eat, everything all on aspiring and committing to empower autistic people.
Success. In the form of attaining my personal objectives. It eluded me then, and judging by my current standards, they elude me for now. Perhaps I need to live more for myself and less for others. And achieve success.
Maybe I can talk more about it.
