Practice Scenarios

Real life examples contributed from Aspies derived from the painful experience of their worst failures,  such as losing a scholarship or job opportunities during the final interview, in hope to be a learning experience for the rest of the Aspies to avoid making the insensible mistake. 


1. Friend addicted to drugs  (lost a schlorship)

If your friend is recently addicted to drugs, what would you do?
a) Leave the friend because he/she may influence you
b) Try to help, be supportive, seek advice from experts and research on what program can help people quite drug

2. Elephant in Forest (lost a job opportunity at final interview)

You’re riding an elephant in a forest.  Half of the elephant is painted red and half is painted green.  Another elephant is running towards you.  What would you do?

3. Lions Trapped

 A Man
} lion 1 {
} lion 2 {
} lion 3 {
……..
} lion X {

A man is trapped in an alps with a long line of lions.  The lions are very skinny with only bone and skin.  The lion first lion would have to determine whether to eat the man or not.  If the lion ate the man, there will be meat inside the stomach of Lion 1 and the lion behind Lion 1 will eat Lion 1 for the meat of the man.  Should Lion 1 eat the man?

4. Mary interviewed a few band-1 secondary schools and didn’t get in.  A teacher referred a band-2 school, during the interview,
Interviewer:  why you apply for this school.
Mary: Because I have tried other school first and didn’t get in.  That’s why I come here.
Is Mary’s response appropriate?  If not, what’s wrong?
(lost placement for a good secondary school)

5. Morning coffee spills by a child on Daddy’s shirt.  Daddy scolded the child and the mum for 20 mins and ended up everyone late for work and child late for school.  In the evening, everyone comes home and all look upset.  Who’s fault?  Daddy.  Because the accident has already happened and no use to scold.  Stress and unhappiness added up, and exploded on small accident like coffee spilt.

Etiquette

1. During having dim sum, your favourite dish milk bun arrives hot.  There are only 3 buns on the dish and there are 5 of you.  What should you do?

a) Take 1 for yourself while it’s hot
b) Ask around if someone want to share one with you.  If someone say, she don’t want it, you can have 1 by yourself.
