How to help this teenager?


I have a relative who is doing O levels this year. He comes across as weird to most people (I think) because of his characteristics:

Not comfortable with making eye contact;
Talks to himself sometimes;
Seems to live in his own world rather than being sensitive to other people/surroundings;

From young he has shown some “symptoms” of autism but they look mild to me. He has some OCD. Academically he has no problem, not the smartest type but will likely qualify for a 2 year JC science course.

I am thinking after his O levels in mid Nov, we should send him for counselling or get some kind of “professional” intervention, so as to help him be able to adapt to JC where he has to be more interactive and work with his classmates.

Does anyone have any ideas on what can be done and who we can approach for help?

We have an Indonesian maid available for immediate transfer. She had been employed by my parents for more than 10 years, mainly to look after them as they were elderly. The last parent had passed on recently and we are hoping to find a good employer for the maid whom we consider as part of family.


The maid can handle but not consume pork. She took care of my parents very well, is patient and hardworking and is trusted by the family as all the children do not live with the parents. She cooks very well and also keeps my parents’ flat neat and clean. Her last drawn salary is $800pm. She has indicated to us her preference for Chinese/Caucasian family due to familiarity with these cultures.

If you are looking for a transfer maid and feel that the above may suit, kindly email me cloverleaf108@yahoo.com

Thank you.

Note: Latest update as of 30 Apr - our maid has received employment offer from a very nice family. Thank you all for reading.

It’s quite pricey but if your kid has never taken it, it’s worth letting him have the experience (at least once).


I took my niece and nephew there earlier this year and they enjoyed it. We took from Harbour Front station and went to Sentosa, loop around and went all the way to Mt Faber before returning to Harbour Front again. Took about 30 mins to travel the distance.
