I remember being called an alien before. XP
What a weird thing to say to someone...
I embrace it, in context of the cosmos aren’t we all creatures of space molded from the infinite potential of dna?
Some people just don't care to develop a sense of self awareness on such scale. Their loss.
I don't know, I personally have trouble communicating with some fellow autistics sometimes. Autism is a spectrum after all, and I think individual autistic communication is also informed by cultural expectations (ethnicity, race, class, etc) albeit in a different way from how NT communication is shaped. Given that my cultural background is quite different from a typical person, I often run into problems when communicating with other autistics as well.
What's your cultural background?
That would need a whole article if I were to explain my background, but to put it succintly, I'm a third culture kid who lived in the US and went back to Indonesia.
there's a reason this always stuck with me as one of the first TNG episodes i ever saw, even though i'm pretty sure it wasn't!
