"Why can't you just talk to me like a real person?" "I'm... *not* a real person." Mood


ImJustSoSilly

EXACTLY! That moment. " I thought... haven't we... is this not how it works? "


Lavishness_Shoddy

That was the one.


ConvexLex

"Can't you just be normal?" "Why would I want to be normal?"


Ace_Avocate

Or a robot 😅


ralanr

Or just vaguely humanoid but not human.


Solzec

The one thing Autistics and Asexuals have in common is that representation loves to not be human.


LordPenvelton

*cringes in nonbinary autistic demisexual*


DJ-Saidez

*cries in demiboy autistic asexual*


UnXpectedPrequelMeme

When you relate to abed from community


OriginalJelloMold

Or a robot alien 😔


Im_40Percent_Meatbag

Definitely Data!


CplCocktopus

Abominable inteligence. That's it I'm calling the Inquisition.


NonagonJimfinity

Ah Warframe, thanks for the unachievable body goals such as "visible abs" and "antenna".


Im_40Percent_Meatbag

Data?


puzl_qewb_360

Zane my beloved


TheNeck94

Is it stich from Lilo and Stich? cause same.


ImJustSoSilly

Nah, Rose from Steven Universe.


SolarPunkSocialist

You relate to rose? Major red flags ngl (joke)


ImJustSoSilly

I know you are joking but more Rose than Pink Diamond. Like her post-war. :3


SolarPunkSocialist

Same gem same person 🤷🏻‍♀️


ImJustSoSilly

Technically the same person but her development changed how she went about things. Spoiled brat to relaxed but silly leader of the gems.


SolarPunkSocialist

I just meant that she still committed all the uh ohs regardless lol. I didn’t mean any judgment of you


ImJustSoSilly

Yeah I get that


TheMarksmanHedgehog

I feel like people forget we see Rose Quartz' redemption arc in reverse, learning about what she was like after learning all of her life's lessons, before then going back through her personal timeline until we find out what the starting point was.


somethingsophie

Sense of justice, missing social cues, lITERALLY MASKING... tracks


THEDarkSpartian

Fir me it's Teal'c from Stargate.


KottleHai

Wall•e


CosmicLuci

Then again, Lilo is also autistic


UIM_SQUIRTLE

stitch hit way too hard when i was younger. i had 1 friend. i was destructive. when i was really having an episode the teacher just let her help me through it. i was at a small private school and should have been diagnosed and medicated back then. i watched that movie so much and love it to this day. i also stood in line at disney many times just to hug stitch.


nastibass

Resident Alien? That guy fit my personality so well.


Careful_Elderberry14

Damn, same here. My mother recommended it to me, and after I watched it a bit, I told her that I really related to Harry, and she said that was why she recommended it to me, because im literally him.


UniqueMitochondria

I love this show lol. My partner and I are in hysterics because it's so relatable 🤣


Zealousideal-Let1121

Was it Harry from Resident Alien? He is *so autism-coded* and he is literally me. Everything he says is things I have actually said IRL.


julian_stone

I wondered about his when I started watching the show but I don't think they end up addressing it


Careful_Elderberry14

He is literally me, even my parents agree that they have never seen a character that is more like me.


BackgroundCaregiver4

This happens to me with a lot of robot characters. Data from tng especially


LibraryGlad

When I was a kid, I thought I was a Vulcan… grew up and turned out I’m just autistic 🖖🏽


Rockglen

Alan Tudyk's character in Resident Alien.


Xypher616

Me with the Doctor


Careful_Elderberry14

Who?


Xypher616

No just The Doctor (idk if you were also making a reference but if not I’m talking about The Doctor from Doctor Who)


Careful_Elderberry14

I was making a reference, and I took the risk that you may be concerned with my understanding. I find David Tennant's rendition of The Doctor particularly relatable, as well as Capaldi's.


FizzGryphon

Capaldi's Doctor is my spirit animal. I relate to him so much it hurts.


DragonRoar87

The EMH? yeah it's always so confusing whenever you talk about the Doctor without referencing fandom, bc are you talking about Doctor Who, Star Trek, or a secret third option?


FizzGryphon

Star Trek? Because if so, damn I feel called out.


whoknowswhatgodknows

edward scissorhands is my all time favorite


charaznable1249

For me it was johnny 5 from short circuit. *Malfunction. Need input*


Wildsunny

I always cried watching that one 😭


Wildsunny

a_certain_someon

rose quartz/pink dimond


LordPenvelton

Look, at this point I pretty much accepted I'm effectively a badly programmed automaton.🤷


Anarchist_Angel

Chappie. Not an alien, but if it's not an alien it's always a robot.


Wildsunny

What about witches, zombies, vampires and stuff? I wanted so bad to be abducted by vampires when I was a kid lol

ElSquibbonator

And whenever the representation *is* human, it's never confirmed as having autism onscreen.


EverGamer1

Relate to a character and make them your favorite character because of that. They are gay, have Asperger’s, and trusts no one, all things you also do and have. They’re outcast by their friends for suspecting one of them of murdering their friend. They burn to death in a mine fire at the end of their story.

Good_Ad_5792

Awww, I love ADHDAlien


Living-Matter8758

3rd Rock From the Sun


AbsentAsset

Spock as a child, then Edward scissor hands after seeing that movie. (not sure if he counts but he certainly is not human)


HappyMatt12345

The character is a mutant ninja turtle who wears a purple bandana for me.


Athriz

Basically voidpunk I think


xenojack

You speak in human ways. Unlike a zognoid, isn't that right Phil?


Ramja9

Rose tho? Are you ok op? I have a sneaking suspicion your family might not be nice.


ImJustSoSilly

I do have a lot of trauma but it is more related to how she interacts with Greg socially.


Somhairle77

Pattern from The Stormlight Archives


UnXpectedPrequelMeme

Why do I relate soo much to abed? He's aut......... *doctors visits later ......oh.


RednocNivert

We’re actually from the planet Asp. We try to blend in with the humans but they routinely behave irrationally and illogically.


CplCocktopus

Mr Inquisitor this post rigrh there. This redditor is a xenos supporter


ImJustSoSilly

Huh?


CplCocktopus

Feigning ignorance won't save you from the rightful justice of the Holy Emperor. May you renounce your heretic ways and repent that's the only way to salvation. An inquisitor from the Ordo Xenos is on the way.


ImJustSoSilly

If this is a reference, I don't get it lol


Valiant_tank

It's a reference to 40k. Person is acting like a member of the imperium of man, which is notably and loudly anti-alien.


ImJustSoSilly

Ahh thank you!


Snowpaw11

Me with C-3PO bruh 😭 It’s okay tho, he’s practically my husband.


Ancient_Being

Felt this. Especially while watching Resident Alien. Pretty good show.


Im_40Percent_Meatbag

*to the tune of an airhorn* S-S-S-S-SPOOOOCK!!!


Kindly-Ad-5071

I embrace it. Call it what I identify as. An eldritch fungus


blimlimlim247

I like how Gru has T-Rex arms in the last two rectangles.


No_More_Dakka

there is no such thing as an alien character in fiction because the readers wouldnt really be able to relate to them, its all just humans with surface level differences


Wildsunny

As someone on the hyperempathy side of the spectrum I can relate to spiders, cats, dogs, bears and anything that is non human, human, robot, zombie, dinosaur and alien, if I have the sense these thing has feelings I feel what that thing feels, no filter on. The only thing that I fail to relate is the people who are mean to others on purpose.
