Kindness begets kindness

Week 4: Kindness First by Wesley Loh

I’ve been chatting almost daily with a cleaning aunty at work — people who often go unnoticed, but deserve the same kindness and respect as anyone. As an autistic person who’s also been overlooked & ignored, I know how much it means when someone sees you. And she has been a blessing to me - warm and motherly and cheerful. I'm sad she has retired, I will miss her voice saying 小弟 / 我的朋友. I gave her a box of nuts, home-baked by my own loving mother.

Like-minded friends who are wise

Week 5: Squad Goals by Wesley Loh

Lunch with friends

Week 3: Simple Joys by Wesley Loh

Having a meal with like-MINDED (NEUROdivergent friends) brings JOY and safety amidst otherwise often feeling lonely in a world that is not easy to make friends with people who don't accept my difference.

Really grateful for such neurodivergents in my life - they give me reason to stay alive and keep living and persevering.

And these two guys and I are in the same team for this AVSW fundraising!

Week 3: Simple Joys by zzhihuaa

whenever i see chickens roaming around the area, my trusty dslr will alwayys come in handy.. i love chickens because they are friendly animals and they dont eat humans.. they eat grains most of the time..

seeing chicken time helps me increase my dopamine levels and it represents part of me as an autistic because i love watching chickens since i was young..

My Favorite Sketchbooks

Week 3: Simple Joys by Caleb Lim

Drawing and pasting pictures of my favorite things such as fast food, hawker food, Disney characters and all things Singapore in my sketchbooks bring me much joy and pleasure. Writing journal entries also allows me to reflect and be grateful for all the blessings I have. This collection of sketchbooks since young, with each page filled with my favorite things, is one of the simple joys I have. As an adult with autism, it is not easy to express my feelings and thoughts. This hobby helps me to de-stress and remain steady.

cooking time: my favourite steamed fish

Week 3: Simple Joys by zzhihuaa

i love steaming fish because it gives my fish dish a distinctive flavour and it helps me have a sense of achievement being able to cook a meal for myself..

steamed fish has lots of nutrients and it is not as fatty as fried fish, making it a healthier choice for the elderly and those who have health problem e.g heart disease..

to me, as an autistic, steaming fish is the foundation of achieving independence.. because i get to prepare the ingredients and also clean the fish all by myself..

my kitty mao plushie

Week 1: Everyday Essentials by zzhihuaa

i need a kitty mao plushie like this to help me to sleep well and also to help me cool down when i am having mental health challenges e.g hearing voices..

to a person with autism as me, having a plushie would not only help me sleep well, it also keeps me happy throughout my daily routine.. having a plushie is my bread and butter for making me happy supereffectively..

Singapore's National Dish

Week 3: Simple Joys by zzhihuaa

i love singapore's national dish - chicken rice.. it is flavourful, has a distinctive taste to it, and the skin is silky and tasty.. every part of the chicken: the drumstick, chicken breast, wings and tail, can be eaten and enjoyed all the same..

chicken rice has been my favourite as a singaporean and as an autistic, i would keep coming back for more.. my friends in the autism spectrum love it too..

Rolled Oats Breakfast

Week 1: Everyday Essentials by Wesley Loh

Breakfast, which experts say is the most important meal of the day, is a must-have for me everyday. It feels my stomach, lets me take my daily medicines (that must be taken after food), and gives me energy to start the day.

I try to eat rolled oats, mixed with fruits and/or blueberries, at least once a week consistently and try to stick to every Tuesday as much as possible, for routine and predictability which autistics like me thrive on.

I'm also honoured to be the first AVSW Buddy featured - check out the post at this link: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1G45RcrV24/
