I've told people I don't feel like a real person.

I've always felt like I'm living on the wrong planet. Everyone else is so weird. Laughing

I do feel prosthetic at times. As if I'm not fully 'here.' But then, where am I?

I think it's being locked inside my mind and looking out - like that. Hence, the missing parts are prosthetic.
Neurotypicals can sometimes seem surreal, as does 'real' interaction.

Ok, the whole real world feels surreal.
What happened?

Oh right...I forgot. It's that autistic thing.........

I learned a new term (gravy, and it doesn't mean meat sauce) and I shall use it in this context: I live inside my mind and the rest is just.....gravy.
Did that make sense??!!??

This is great.

I feel like a non-human a lot.

Well, yes. I often feel like I'm an onlooker, watching people (though not in a creepy, stalker-y kind of way) and seeing how they act and behave around each other. I have an incomplete understanding of how people work and think, so it's not surprising that I often feel like an outsider. Nowadays, I feel more like a foreigner than an alien.

Yes I have always felt "different" . As I got older I felt like I was an Alien , and "stranger in a strange land."
That is why my signature states "I am the alien they are looking for". I think it has to do with the lack connection with other people, for most AS think on a different plain.

Terran Abduction topic

Yeah...They brought me here at some point and now I cannot get back to where I belong...So I am on the outside looking in! When I was a kid I really believed this. I thought I was from Mars, before I knew women were from Venus! But I prefer Mars. The Red Planet. alien
