Do you think it might be possible for people with aspergers to break away from the nerotypicals aka normal people?

and what bennefits and/or problems would come with it

Do you mean break away as in completely isolate yourself from 'normal' people? The only way you could really do that would be to become a hermit, and I can think of a ton of problems with that.

Explain more legionnaire. Do mean you are dependent on NT friends or
family and you want to be more independent(I feel that way)?

In that case my thoughts are there would be lots of problems.
First you would assume at the very least we would have better
understanding of each other. But that may be wrong. As seen
on alot of threads here we have two problems.
1)Not being able to take critism.
2)Not being able to give critism in a nice way.
In my opinion two aspie at random would be less likely to deal with
each other than if you randomily picked one aspie and one NT.

Hmm, i am dependent on some NTs that help me blend in to my community. i what to be more independent in the sense that i don't need any one to help me blend in to my community

the question i was asking is if a number of people with aspergers broke away from the world and formed a community free of nt contact. what would the bennefits and/or problems with forming/being in the commuity

[almost evryone wants to be more independent thats normal}

The aspie colony 2012 build on a small island off the coast of Africa. 2330
people living there. Main income information technology and tourism.
80% male, 20% female. Birthrate very low. Some guy says hey lets
allow some NT women in this place. The NT birthrate skyrockets in a few
generations its mostily NT's.

I think we'd need some good old fashioned people to generalize (NTs) and they'd need some good old fashioned folks to analyze (AS). If we split up, we may end up with an overanalyzed world where we couldn't create any standards because NO ONE WOULD AGREE WITH EACH OTHER. There are so many variables that we'd all just be doing our own thing. But that might in turn create a vary ridgid society that kept to themselves and were very peace-oriented. But we'd probably stay intact as a nation. But we'd probably need a high-energy, day camp coordinator-type NT to organize our big break, just to get us all in one place at the same time while we grit our teeth and roll our eyes at said NTs antics.

Without us, the NTs would fall completely apart because they'd have too many rules and not understand the variables. They'd eventaually break apart because no one would be able to analyze their problems properly and no one would want to take blame for any wrong doing. I think it's a symbiotic relationship and we need each other. NTs to keep us from overanalyzing and AS to keep them from overgeneralizing. And who would fix their computers? Or cars? Or electronics? Or anything else that has small moving parts?

After looking at this, I think we might be better off without them, but they wouldn't be able to get by without us. Those loosers. (...being a little sarcastic here...) :wink:
