I'm tired I feel like im a robot or an alien between humans, they all look like dumb animals to me.
I'm hyperaware of everything I'm incable of believing in any Abrahamic religion wich makes me a weirdo in so many eyes I'm weird I don't think I'm capable of having fun. I like having deep conversations and don't understand the normal conversations people do I don't get it.
I hate it I'm so tired I wanna be normal.
Life doesn't feel worth living maybe I should just be alone

Why worry? What's so great about being "the norm?"

I can't believe in Abrahamic or any religion either. I have formed my own theories based on facts that can be proven.

I also like deep conversations. I can get a laugh out of listening to what humans talk about. It's what they find interesting and important that I don't understand.
Perhaps it just isn't encoded into some of our DNA to feel and desire what 99% of most others feel naturally as their bodies mature.
Having more profound interests than who won the last football game, what some politician is saying or "let me tell you about my grandchildren and their new puppy..." on the cell phones stuff doesn't make me miserable. Why should it?
Hyperawareness is wonderful. You'll appreciate and know things most overlook.

I don't see them as dumb animals because I don't see animals as dumb.
Humans just seem to think they are the ultimate creation on the planet.
There is a oneness in conscious connection with all things if you are open to it. ✨

I see where you are going with all of this... and I think we can all empathize and sympathize with this sort of thinking at some level. I often feel like a visiting alien, disguised as a human, here to observe. I am present and aware, but not able to "connect" with neurotypicals... and they cannot connect with me. Emotional neutrality is often the "resting state"... very little highs and lows. However, when strong emotions are present... they are very strong... not regulated... and it's embarrassing to loose that self control, so I push it down hard to regain that composure. I love deep conversations... really digging into topics... but have little interest in talking about people. The eyes glaze over, they cut the discussion short, and exit the interaction. Sure, it comes off as if they are of "lower intellect"... and it may be true in some cases... and it is isolating, in and of itself. For example, if you are in the 90th percentile of intelligence for the general population... 9/10 people are of lesser intellect, and it is isolating. There are only 30 IQ points between being "mentally retarded" (70) and the mean/normal for the general population (100)... so if your IQ is 130... you are perceiving "normal" people as equivalent to "retarded". Let that thought settle in. This is very frustrating, isolating, even angering, always being misunderstood, rarely "connecting" with anyone. However, you can not allow them to bring you down psychologically... embrace your differences. You aren't "other people"... and take comfort in that.

That said, given all the pros and cons that I personally experience with my autism in this world...knowing what this world has become... a neurotypical world of pain and suffering, wars, greed, corruption, divisiveness, superficial social interactions, a general lack of logic and reason, a world that is fueled by emotional thinking... I have zero interest in being "normal". I am perfectly fine separating myself, creating distance from all of "that". Life can be good if you can keep your mind and body busy, with a purpose, with goals, with direction, with creativity, purposefully reducing the negativity in your life, being kind,... and that is all upon you. Stop chasing what others have... jealousy and envy only lead to suffering... besides, "What makes you think others are any happier than you?". If others are not "deep thinkers", maybe they are "blissfully unaware". You focus upon you.

"I do not think I am human." Well, there is a stream of thought that suggests that autism just might be another step in human evolution. Maybe we are feeling evolutionary "growing pains"... we are "intermediary steps", incomplete, and we just call them "symptoms" because we are experiencing things that "normal" people do not experience. Maybe in a few hundred years (at the rate things are going)... will autism be the "norm"? Will communication via telepathy/shared consciousness (some non-speakers have this ability) be just another form of "normal" communication for us? An interesting thought experiment.

Was going to comment and say exactly this. The squirrel outside my window right now has intelligent eyes. Either we're all intelligent in our own ways, or we're all dumb together.

I choose to believe the squirrel is successfully plotting to take over the world. It makes life more fun.
 
... and just for some clarification of my statements above... even if you are truly a genius... hypothetically... you still are incapable of knowing and understanding anything. It is an illusion created in our primitive, little "monkey" brains. The human sensory system is extremely limiting in this physical and non-physical world. Our eyes are only capable of perceiving 0.0035% of the light spectrum. Our ears might only perceive 10 octaves of sound (20-20,000 Hz). Our sense of smell and taste are quite limited in perceiving compounds. Our sense of touch is very limiting, as well. There are likely very dramatic and profound things happening all around us, all the time... and because we cannot sense any of it... we are oblivious. So, for the sake of some humility within ourselves... this body... this "meat suit" we currently occupy severely limits our understanding of our physical and non-physical world.

Yes, other animals may actually have better sensory systems and can perceive things we cannot... and in specific ways, make them more intelligent than us.
