I’m not crazy. Â I score high on Asperger’s but it’s still not a good fit. Â I have always had this feeling of not belonging, even of being an alien. Â When the loneliness gets too bad, I think of suicide. Â On better days, I think about what my mission might be. Â Maybe just to explore or be an emissary. Â I have taken up the study of astronomy expressly to find out whether some other star might resonate. Â I haven’t yet found the star, but I have found the constellation. Â Somehow I knew the name before I knew it existed. Â Anyway, now I’m wondering if there are any other “aliens” online who have taken up astronomy for the same reason. Â I’m sorry if this is not the proper forum for this. Â I’m posting this inquiry on all kinds of sites where such folks might hang out. Â Thanks for your time.

I also have asperger’s and have felt like an alien most of my life. Certainly nothing fanatical, nor an egoistic need to be “special”. It’s an inner knowing that’s grown stronger the older I’ve become. I don’t why I feel this way. My life swings between bleak despair where suicide seems the only option, and determined optimism to complete a mission. I am a benevolent emissary, but the purpose eludes me. I have found my star, and have changed my name to represent lineage. I don’t know why I did this except that intuitively it made perfect sense. Unlike SwordHeart, I have taken up theology to decipher what all this is about.
