How come aliens are so scary? I don't think many users here choose especially scary aliens. :wink:

You know why though: It's because they view themselves as being aliens since they have Asperger's; it's partly suggested by the forum title (Wrong Planet) and the idea behind it.

Me, I've opted for a robot motif instead.

Seconded when it comes to robots haha. Though I often do feel as if I am human after all.

As you should.

We may be a slightly different sort of human, but the thing that has stood out to me from watching lots of videos on YouTube by Aspies is our humanity, and all the variation in our personalities. We are very much human.

Really?

I've been here for three years now, and have only seen a few alien avatars being used. * the majority of avatars are anime related *

Maybe because the site is called Wrong Planet?

Because some of them look funny, and some of them look cool?

It's a cheap metaphor.
