How A 17-Year-Old With Autism Sees The World

[@jaychow3208]

That teacher who did not allow him to go to the toilet should be reprimanded, that teacher must be taught a lesson for her wrongdoings. If you're the teacher and you're reading this, I think your ex-student and his parents deserve a sincere apology from you. And to those students who laughed at him, shame on you guys!

[@wemuk5170]

Jay Chow In UK she would have been sacked.

[@wemuk5170]

NYI YAN MOE HTET For sure, for sure, without a doubt. Yes, sacked means fired for child neglect or abuse if proven - for not allowing him to go to toilet coupled with not cleaning him when she/he must have known that he has soiled himself. The employer/school will typically inform the press that such a person no longer work in the school. Happens every time with abusive staff.

[@mamamememoo]

Agreed. Growing up I had a buddy with aspergers and he did poorly in school and was often beat up by his folks. He could draw extremely well. During comic con, I took him and his folder and shoved his artwork before many artists to promote him to them. He gradually got to know more like minded artists and grew in confidence. Today he is a successful animator in Japan and has worked on many popular animes. It is possible.

"I like animals, bcs they dont call with other species." It slaps me. Really hard. 🥺

[@cassiachung1457]

Sadly, even in animals, lets take for example rabbits, there are forms of discrimination/ jealousy. You can search it up but basically a sloppy eared (the one that doesnt stand) bunny was isolated by other upright long eared bunnys because... of his ears. So this bunny would eat other bunny’s ears bc of his jealousy. Cause and effect. Farmers thought bunnies were being predated but didnt realise that it was the sloppy eared bunny that *was the predator* until they put up cameras for a few weeks. What a world we live in.

... Watching this... Is like watching my ENTIRE life's story exposed. My wife is sitting next to me saying "it's you!" or, "you JUST said that!". I am 35 years old, with schizophrenia and mild autism. I want Chester to know... I don't care what the rest of the world says, we are people. We're not special. We're not "off". We're not different. We. Are. People. People who care, people who love, people who cry, people who hurt. We have difficulty dealing with "normal" situations, yes... However, we have the same issues as everyone else.... How to deal with a situation we don't feel comfortable with. I'm probably rambling... But I've just never HEARD OF another person so damn close to me that sounds like, acts like and is bothered like me. The birthday thing was the most powerful one... I have NEVER enjoyed the focus on the birthday person. It's just another day to me. I'll stop now with this... Chester... I understand.

[@weneedmoreconsideratepeopl4006]

You're not sick. He's not sick. Different ways to express oneself is not autism. You're both just right-brain dominant folks. Being artistic and having amplified senses gave it all away. Being right-brained folks in a world dominated by left-brained ones... No wonder people get ostracized.

[@lyndayeo8026]

He speaks very well. What he says has depth too.

[@magdamanduhai252]

He is not sick at all! That's just his character, most people always think you are sick when you do not do what they do and what they like you to do. Some people really like to be alone, do not talk much, and you will be called SICK. How about the reverse, some people like to talk too much and socialize too much . . . . they call that normal???? Why must you act the way that other people like you to act? Why can you not be just yourself???

[@honeyhartmr]

I agree. I don't think he sick. I think he is a strong will and stubborn person. Usually when kids act up like this its because they feel sad, not enough love, or something isn't right. My son sometimes acts like this and he'll tell me he just wants to try to do it his way or be himself. My son barely talked until he was three as well. Now hes full of huge vocabularies. I would not say he has anything wrong with him. Not everyone should act or have the same personality. Sometimes I wish parents would stop trying to find something wrong with their kids. All children excel at a different rate. Just be blessed.

[@joannerodriguez8912]

He is not a sick. He is a adult that wants to do and express his own way. He wanted to feel life without any control and learn from it. That is the problem of... too much in control. When you see your child ready being independent let him feel life out there and not judge his capabilities or else he will act like a child stuck in a room and doesnt want to get out or afraid to get out. I think he is smart than his parents and he is capable to see and knowing things in life than them. The problem for some parents they want to be a parent that is always right. They want to hold that power of authority while instead be just a best friend and guide not control.

Recently, we were shopping at a craft store and while I was picking things out, my sister was skipping around and giggling. Then, a woman came over to us and handed her a DIY craft kit and passed me the receipt, telling me "No no it's nothing, I just want to give her a gift. I've paid for it already, here's the receipt." I felt like crying at that time.

The way he speaks in English is so good! No heavy Singlish accent. Probably the first Singaporean I’ve heard speak English pretty fluent. And he sounds really knowledgable too in his words. It’s almost like he studied in an international school. And ngl, lowkey gotta crush on him 😳

[@Hllee6428]

Yes I agree with you. The Singaporean accent is almost nil and he sounds pretty neutral. Ironically this could be due to being isolated from fellow Singaporeans (other than parents) with less likelihood of picking up Singlish...and perhaps drowning himself in KZbin/CNA instead. .So this could be the silver lining.

“That’s the most wrong way to make me happy.” *EXACTLY!!* I have Asperger’s and although I’m not hardcore introverted (I do have some wonderful close and casual friends,) I need to mentally prepare ahead of time before I socialize with more than two people. My mom is hardcore extroverted and doesn’t understand my need for peace and quiet. She three me 4 surprise parties when I was a teenager, 3 for my birthday and 1 for graduation. I didn’t cry cuz I wasn’t a kid but I didn’t appreciate the surprise. I love my friends but having them all shout “SURPRISE!” at me really hurt my brain and I couldn’t fully enjoy their company for the rest of the party. Edit: just want to clarify that every autistic person is different and Chester sounds similar but not identical to me when he was a child. For example, I was always fully verbal from 12 months old. I was also a very social child. An introverted one for sure! But introversion doesn’t mean you don’t enjoy socializing, it just means it *drains* you of energy and you need lots of alone-time to recharge.

Though we are blessed with a majority of understanding students but coping with the curriculum, socializing and our (teachers') inability to accommodate to these students prove to be both a challenge from both ends..

I relate to this so much. We are working on getting our autistic son to a special school. I think it will change his life.

Bad teacher. I feel so sorry for the boy.

That's actually a very nice drawing!! EDIT: ITS BETTER THAN MINE

[@MAMMASALI86]

He and his mother spoke very well even better than most Singaporeans in general and the family was lucky to have this kind-hearted young man. We are very proud of your family and may God always protect and bless you and your family abundantlly Lots of love from Indonesia ❤

Not special, just me. Yeah, it’s true. Even though you are a person with special needs you need to work your way up. I have so much respect for Chester. I am also in the same shoes as well. I am a girl also diagnosed with mild autism. It’s just that I wasn’t able to freely express myself as a person like I used to because of my parents 😕

[@Celinamars666]

This video made me cry because it’s so kind

[@aureliatolentino9395]

I am angry with that teacher for not allowing him to go and had to suffer such humiliation of wearing his dirty pants. If I were the mother I would have confronted the teacher and report her/him. If that teacher by chance saw this, SHAME on you!!!!

[@ysetiadji]

I hope one day my daughter could be better just like Chester.

Our society really needs a lot of education... it's sad to hear how people judged him when they saw his uniform.

This made me glad because 2 of my closest friends have autism.

He speaks eloquently.

[@frank-ts1yr]

Even teachers are human, the issue is will they realize they are wrong and change. I pity Chester because he had it tough. I hope things improve for him and his mum. Stay strong

[@aceace9397]

People need to gain more knowlegde on autism :) We need to create a better setting environment for people who are diagnose with autism..
