Amos Yee needs help (update) (update)

Amos Yee

Didn't bother to view Amos video but briefly read/glance through Amos writing which was lifted from his blog here

Feel for Amos mom and dad. Especially in Sg, the
demand for conformity is much higher.
Not only our "asian values" driven society,
he also need to contend with national service.* 

He needs help. Today's Singapore is in a better position with very developed specialist in counselling as compared to, say,  twenty years ago...

Just feel scarred for Amos and sad for mom and dad.

This time, with social media and blogs and what not, we are able to "catch" him in time. To intervene in terms of counselling and guidance. Don't let this chance slip by. Don't let history repeat.

* There must be enough eccentrics and weirdos in Israel to form at least a battalion! I wonder how a conscription armed force like the IDF deal with their social mis-fits during their "national service".

" ... Finally, conventional psychiatric treatment does not work for some teenagers with ASD. What Amos needs are creative mental health professionals who can customise a treatment plan specifically for him so as to engage him and motivate him to have healthy ways of coping and mastering life. ...

People are trying to find a way out for this boy ... but cannot be too obvious ... 人在江湖 , 身不由己 .

1) Try to "scold" him on the internet so as to placate the establishment somewhat ...
2) Try not to give him a criminal record ...
3) Try to get him some kind of a medical record ...
4) With no. 3) above try to get him "down graded" during NS so as to get him out of combat vocation ...

Some of these types maybe able to function "normally" in a civilian environment but when you put them in an "abnormal" (to them) environment like the military ... if he survive, good training for him. Worse case scenario ... its either he kill himself or he kill someone ...

i don't know.
