why wrong planet ? as a name?

Post Reply New Topic

i am just curious since I have heard people refered to as living in there own planet -

since thier version of normal is different then the earth version of "normal"

is that the point?

The point is that we are aliens.

Have you ever felt you were from another planet because everyone else was different than you?

I love the name

the name is a good one

I think it's fairly obvious, most people with Asperger's Syndrome or Autism can relate to the idea of being on the "wrong planet" all the time. I really like the name, I think it's perfect.

wrong planet... basically meaning we are aliens along way from home trying to get along and be seen as normal by the strange NT humans lol who are very hard to please

I like the name, WrongPlanet.

The name was one of the main reasons this site first caught my attention. In two words it sums up a lot, and I always liked the implication that there could be a Right Planet for us out there somewhere.

well since having AS sickens me to the core and I feel immortal shame about it

no I am not a huge fan

Why should you feel shame, Kilroy? It's not like AS is some kind of moral failing - it's just the way we are (or the way we're made, depending on your personal philosophical/religious leanings). I am what I am, what I've always been, what I'll likely be for the rest of my life, and I decline to let other people define how I feel about that.

I feel it is a great fail and shame in my...brain I guess
it is a curse and brings shame to me and would to any family I would ever have

I have to live with this BS daily, obsessions, shyness all that crap
and don't say its a good thing-ever!!
its like some sort of parasite-I could care less how much I know about some stupid pile of crap
its pointless
there will never be a day where I will say it is a good thing to have AS
I might be alright with it, but it is a curse to me

To each, their own. I think that my obsessions suit me quite nicely.

maybe mine do but they still make me sick

I for one can identify with the idea of "wrong planet". I used to toy with the idea that I would some day be picked up by my alien parents and taken back to another world that somehow just made sense and where everything worked for me.

I am not the kind of person that will say you should find the positive side. I don't think though that it help to be so negative. I can agree with people like glider, in that my own autism has given me things that I can enjoy. However, the thing is though, every person seems to have something they enjoy, even without autism (yes, that can happen!). I would be a different person, I'd still have things I like and dislike, plus I would not suffer the difficulties that I do. I'd have a different set of problems that would probably not be as annoying.

Wrong planet or not, the least we can do is try and enjoy ourselves.

I know I'd enjoy stuff without having AS
but it would be normal and healthy not seen as freakish and beneath most
because I don't live in this world I live in the real one
where AS means ret*d and I have to be someone else
and in all honesty I do want to be someone else

and will always carry the bitterness within
