For giving me a safe place where I can relate to people and say things without always needing to explain myself and explain the connection of what I say to the topic of Autism.

For example " Please get me away from this noise." makes so much more sense here than in the 'real world'.

Thank you Alex, thanks to wrong planet I was able to seek out a proper diagnosis and finallly begin to understand myself and the way I am who I am by reading and listening to others with autism who share the same experiences as I do.

Once my parents whom I live with found out I was autistic, the years of abuse from them stopped, they finally understand me. I now have a much happier relationship with them thanks to you and wrong planet.

Thank you, Alex. You've created a great service and communication tool for those of us that understand each other when it seems most of the world doesn't.

Yes, thank you. The first place I found to "talk" like I really am.

In the last few years I have had to deal with serious medical problems. Wrong Planet has given me a place to
1. Escape for awhile
2. Exercise my brain cells at a time I could have easily regressed from boredom and thinking to much about my situation.
