Autistics are aliens and/or aliens are autistic
If I had to imagine an advanced alien species, I somehow tend to think of them as rational, analytical and capable of independent thought rather than hyperconforming group-thinking sheeple busy living in the socially construced illusions, mundane social status struggles and a myriad of tribalistic cultural assumptions about race, gender, power, and privilege perpetuating the cycle of wars, environmental catastrophes, and poverty.
Ironically, Neurotypicality has so far been an evolutionary advantage but prevents the society from advancing to a more complex level.
Evolution, you're ret*d.
No. It would be a suggestion of something worth investigating, but without physical evidence, a case is unlikely to go to trial.
No. The real problem is that every crackpot with an Internet connection seems to place more importance on mere belief than on physical evidence.
Belief proves nothing.

Since life itself originated on Earth, that alone make us un-alien, regardless of where the ingredients came from. What you said is like claiming that a cake was not home-made just because the ingredients were bought at a store.
Thank you, Dr. Sagan.

Whatever, Dr Semantics.

...and I think this thread lost its relevance a long time ago, according to the OP.

Problems with Bill McDonalds claims:
He says that most greys are sterile females. But autism affect most males, so if the grays are autistic people from the future, then most of thye greys should logically be males.
Some of the most emotional people on this planet are autistic.
If electromagnetic radiaton affects us humans so much, why is it only causing autism?
The term "autistic" covers a wide range of people, from asocial to hypersocial to furries to artists to spocklings to people that is not capable of crossing the street, so to say that all autistic people are like the greys is the act of a fool.
And he makes money on selling alien art.

If I were an alien descended from autistic humans and had time travel technology, then I wouldn't have wasted (life)time on taking DNA from neurotypicals( ).
I would have seen how the natives of Easter Island put up those giant statues or discussed philosophy with Buddha or atleast celebrated Christmas with my autistic human ancestors.

Seems like this persons entire premise is that people with autism don't have feelings/emotions which is BS. Yes some of us have a hard time expressing them or expressing them 'correctly' and some with autism maybe don't have very strong emotions/feelings but its not a diagnostic criteria because it simply does not truly apply. So I can't take this theory very seriously at all, though I wouldn't rule out extra-terrestrial interference being a factor I mean for all we know humanity is just a big experiment and we're simply being studied and screwed around with by some more advanced alien race who maybe altered something to make autism possible. Also I don't have an official diagnoses but they've found odd things about me they basically consider it a genetic mutation but have no idea of the cause.
Or maybe its completely natural that some people are neurotypical and some have autism, or maybe its the result of humans breeding with seemingly human alien beings. But really all one can do is speculate on these matters since no one has the answer.

I'm not going to argue. There are crackpots who simply believe without checking the facts. Unfortunately it's self evident the sceptic community are likewise unwilling to check the evidence either. I could write a thesis/book on this topic alone but people here are predominantly closed minded on the subject.
I have 2 arms, 2 legs, 10 fingers, 10 toes, 2 eyes, 2 ears, 1 nose, 1 mouth, 30-something teeth, brown hair, white skin, et cetera. Therefore, I am not an alien. I was made by 2 humans, and brought up by by own kind (humans). How the f**k am I a f***ing alien?????! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !! !
LOL
McDonald discussed some possible causes of the developmental disorder, including changes made to the human genome by electromagnetic radiation. His most shocking theory, however, attributes the rise of a future race of sterile 'Gray' aliens to the apparent present-day increase in autism in human beings. He also states that the behavior of the aliens is very simaliar to autistic people and how they do not express emotion and work together in a "hive" like setting. He claims that the aliens are actualy future autistic people who need to abduct people for reproductive material in an attempt to breed back the ability to feel emotion. Anyway, just another "out there" autism theory that I thought people might get a few good laughs from.
Okay MagicMeerkat let's be friends

Just shot a telepathic beam in her direction but I'm getting a busy signal. Will try again later.
