That a website for Aspies is called 'wrongplanet' should clue you in that many of us feel out of place.

It's absolutely OK and natural to look for a connection, but don't lose who and what you are for the sake of that connection. I made that mistake twice. Down that path lies pain and despair. Generally takes a year or two to climb back out of the rabbit hole. My son's rabbit finally kicked me out of the rabbit hole a while back, even if I do bring him lots of dandelion greens and hay every day.

Find who you are by yourself and work from there.


Yup.

I have no issue fitting in myself; I can even fit in a bottle.

I know exactly who I am, I just don’t know how to get my neurons firing in specific ways.

I bet you're always like "We're not in Kansas anymore" despite being always there.... how confusing.

You should get a pet and call it Toto.


I named my cat Chip, not Toto... missed opportunity. It would have been funny for a cat to be called Toto!

Funnily enough, I’m wearing a blue gingham dress today. :mrgreen:
