I'm sorry to say that it is true. I wonder if I have something to do with it, due to medical issues, down there. I don't spend the day banging my head, though - I guess that's a good thing.

This is definitely true when you search "wrongplanet.net", someone's clearly passing the link from the next person to another like when we hear romours about everything and how fast it spreads.

That's a spoof. Not too far from true though, what with Autism Speaks buying Alex out and all.

But if you read down, after they discuss the spoof, they mention austism speaks buying alex/wrongplanet out, and say that that part isn't a spoof. that's what I wondered about.

That's funny! Reminds me of some people who seem to think... If you're autistic, you should assume automatically, first and foremost, that you are wrong, no matter what. "Wrongspeaks"

I found it amusing how the article writer called wrongplanet "The Joy of Autism" :lmao:

'acquires' is spelled wrong.

'acquires' is spelled wrong.

You failed to capitalize the A in 'acquires' at the beginning of your sentence.
