Offensive or flattering?

I find them rather laughable, and I wonder if the ideas that we are aliens might actually be a roundabout compliment. Are the saying we are so much more intelligent and advanced/more evolved than NT's, that the only explanation for it is that we must be aliens from a distant planet?

It's hilarious. Conspiracy theories usually are. I think whoever came up with this needs to just sit back and relax and turn on an all day marathon of "Duck Dynasty".

Crossbreeding with dolphins? That's the funniest part. I know a lot of people who believe in space aliens, and sometimes after they finish off a bottle they might even see one or two of them, so although I don't believe in them, I just think "yeah, yeah, whatever" about them. But dolphin sex? That's a new one.

I'd be willing to lay cash money that the guy who came up with that theory is either named "Boomer" or has someone in his family who is.

Silly. It's too goofy to find offensive and too gross to be flattering.

What the hell?

sounds like theories that john best jr woud come up with to be honest.

OP, this has nothing to do with mystery, and everything to do with dehumanization. It's offensive to think that we're being classified as experiments or non-human creatures by people who are ingorant about 99% of reality. In the end, it makes it easier for people to treat us like crap because they can justify it to themselves that we're "not human".
People that make this sh*t up have absolutely no basis for their "theories", no scientific understanding of autism (or anything else for that matter) whatsoever, and half of them probably do most of their "research" by going to backwater sites that have even more people with even less knowledge than the person who made up the "theory", sites that have at best, circumstantial evidence that may or may not be real at all, and at worst some of the most screwed up ideas in human history. And what makes it worse is... people are dumb enough to believe it over real facts.

I have a conspiracy theory of my own: Conspiracy theorists make up stuff that will anger certain people into taking certain action against other certain people, by giving circumstantial evidence that may or may not be completely fictional or relevant, in order to control the masses and thereby controlling applicable law that may come as a result of violence.

Makes it easier to hate conspiracy theorists? Absolutely (if you believe it). Based in reality by way of circumstantial evidence (what conspiracies suggest, how they suggest it, etc)? Yes, by circumstantial evidence alone. Accurate? Probably not.
See my point? In the theory I presented (which is total fiction, mind you), I made conspiracy theorists the poster child for mass control and violence and given how gullible people are, a lot might even believe it and thereby start hating conspiracy theorists because of it, rationalizing any violence against them (even a bunch of insults/spam/etc on the net) as being justified because they are branded as having a dark agenda.

It's no different with conspiracies about autistics being non-human in some way, people use said "theory" to dehumanize us and justify any negative emotion or action toward us, and it's because they're ignorant screws who believe some guy with a "theory" more than real, established fact.

So, yes, it's offensive, it's damaging to us (and only us), and it's not something that should be allowed to occur. These kinds of conspiracy theories are no different than printing libel and frankly, we should have the right to force a retraction and public apology, or sue for the very real damaging effects that said theories cause.

I find it flattering. As in, they find me so mysterious that they need to come up with mystical explanations as to why I am the way I am. I think that's pretty cool.

It's too dumb to be offensive, and also too dumb to be flattering.

Mind you it is funny, but you wonder what these people are taking. I have no idea what it is but it sure sends their minds off in some crazy directions.

It did brighten up my my morning.
