I think so. Most of us do feel like were on the "wrong planet", so I guess that could be a clue. :chin:

Most? I thought all aspies felt like aliens at one point or another in their life.

I can't speak for everyone, but I know I have since at least the fourth grade. Also we tend to study everything as aliens might. We are the rational outsiders, since many of us are not sucked into other peoples' games and emotional nonsense. If real aliens wanted to study humans, they'd be just as puzzled.

Everybody is alien to something. :)

Wow, it still feels strange to find people like me. I thought I was so freaking weird and different from anyone else.

I think you will find that there's quite a few of us, here at WP. :wink:

Yeah, I just still can't believe I am the way I am because of a disorder that some other people have. It makes me feel less special, but it is still a relief.

^I felt that way in the beginning too. I'm from a small town, and it was somewhat comforting to know I was the only one here, like me. Now, I don't feel so special anymore, either. :shrug:

I also come from a small town, and I spent time wondering what a planet of people similar to myself would be like. Now my best guess is that it would be much more quiet.

I happen to enjoy being loud but only when I am with friends, apparently people don't like when you scream at them when they ask for directions at work...

:lol: And also where I used to work there was this unwritten rule that said supervisors can scream and yell, but all underlings can't. So that depends on where you work.

Sethzack^Not to change the subject, but, did you ever do any gold prospecting up there in Alaska? I've been thinking about taking atrip up there someday to do exactly that. I don't plan to get rich or anything, I just think it would be a cool vacation.(along with some fishing)

I did a few times as a kid, not many people take it seriously anymore. Fishing is great though.

Cool, I would be happy just doing some Alaskan fishing. It sounds like those charter services that are supposed to take you to the gold, are a money scheme. If they knew where all the gold was, they'd be taking it for themselves. I'd still like to check it out though.
