You know that's why we are all here -- here, being WP. "Wrong planet syndrome," is what EVERY autistic experiences.

Not trying to downplay anyone's views. This is what autistic scholars have written.

I've always been more comfortable in the sky. If I ever meet any of you, we will grab a plane and escape the ground for a while. ;) it's as close as I've ever gotten to feeling home.

ImAnAsie - I love Spock too. I started with SNG tho and felt like Data in many situations. My best (and only) friend even called me b-bot growing up, a take on my "human" name. Both Spock and Data are heroes in the Autistic community from what I've seen.

So, don't be too ready to leave. Or at least, don't feel alone. You've got company on WP.

brent spiner ["data" et al] used to be a song and dance man, and he recorded in the 1990s, a novelty record entitled "ol' yellow eyes is back" fearing "the sunspots" [the rest of the male TNG cast] as a backing quartet.

Thanks!

It was for news reporters' interviews after the Salt Lake County Council voted unanimously in 2012 to present a joint mayor-council resolution to me. The resolution was for writing the county's first nondiscrimination ordinance (the state's first such law) 20 years earlier.

I would have chosen a newer image, but, it turns out, I don't have a newer image. :o I look the same, though.

I like his talent. His tantrum a few years ago over private individuals owning firearms, though, didn't help his career. I didn't originally like being compared to him, but hey, it was better than being compared to Santa Claus:

It seems, though, that he has been spying on me :wink: and mimicking my appearance ever since:

Hehe.

Yep! that's how I discovered this wonderful Website in the first place. Searching for why I've always felt like I'm living on the wrong planet. My first recollection was at about the age of 6. I remember standing at the back door, looking up at the night sky and thinking, "Why have you left me here?" but I've always been different. My sister used to always call me "the alien".


I've been stimming since before that. I remember being a little kid < 6 and stimming in bed. I just knew it was enjoyable. I also knew it was a bit weird and I had the intelligence even back then to know I had to hide it. Later on, we got an electronic organ and I accidentally discovered the joy of harmonics. I'd sit there for ages pressing these three keys and it was wonderful. I also knew that was weird but I think I just gave up on worrying what people (family) thought. I just wanted to do what I wanted to do! And I did it. That kind of shaped my life. I've always danced to the beat of my own drum. But I digress, as usual!

That's so nice. Lately, I have met some of the nicest people I have ever met in my life. In times of trouble, those who care, surface - and I thank you for surfacing - caring :)

Don't forget about Seven Of Nine.
She was assimilated as a young child and then separated from the hive as an adult.

Oh, I miss Steam! :(

I used to LOVE Day Of Defeat!

I'm living at my Mum's place at the moment (all by myself :) ) and her Internet speed is H O P E L E S S ! ! !

I always played a British sniper :) LOL
