There are by the numbers about 2,000,000 in the US.


Can you imagine a world like that?

Panaspieism has problems.

It would be like creating a world for the left handed, Ned Flanders, or Apple users. Single traits do not unite.

In this case they do exclude. Just the lack of eye contact can shut us out of the NT world. We are seen as different, which must be wrong, as the world is perfect, so we are bully magnets.

Just the basics, getting an education, finding a job, gaining working skills, are much harder for us. We work less, at lower positions, make less money, which then limits startting a business or family, owning a home.

At the same time, we have skills, and the focus to develop them to a high degree. We have Obsession.

Where we do get an equal shot at the market, we excel. Focus, hard work, dedication, long hours, pay off.

I would love to see a world based on smoking weed, everyone having sex with everyone, and free from clothes, work, and ownership. It would quickly solve the over population problem.

NTs are doing their own Lemming Dance. Traditional wisdom said store food for at least a year, for crops fail. Now we live hand to mouth, grow one crop, and the drought is getting worse, the summers hotter, winters colder, and one year like 1815, the year without summer, and we have reserves to last two months. No problem, the people will just eat the seed grain, and next year?

An inventory of our skills and problems, and the problems the world makes for it's self, and having an owned place, food, water, a roof, is more realistic than a fallout shelter in the sixties. It is dual use, a low cost business location, and the place to be when the world stops.

The 1918 flu killed 50,000,000. From perfect health to dead in twelve hours. Seventy people died in the New Orleans flood. 1500 died in the week it took before someone came with drinking water. We were not rescued, we were quarentiend. The city is mostly still in ruins. 250,000 have nothing to come back to.

I do have personal reasons to see to my own survival. Money became worthless, ATMs quit working, and the cash on hand would not buy a liter of water.

The New Madrid quake is due again, one of the earth's clocks. Two hundred years, centered near Saint Louis, and last time it rang church bells in Washington and Boston. Now all of the powerlines, pipelines, railroads, food transporting highways, run through there. A Supernova would fry every computer. FEMA will fix it.

Having water, food, shelter, has become important to me. I am still living below sea level, and need to expand my business. I think about a place above sea level, with water. While the world lasts I want power, WiFi, and UPS. When the world stops, I want water, food, shelter.

As for group survival, you should all go smoke dope and play video games where you are. You can move to the Aspie Commune in New Madrid. There you can declare your own country, with no work and free dope. You have my best wishes.

I will continue publishing, work with those who have an obsession that prints. That is by Internet. Any who wouild like to tell me how to live can visit, you just need ten pound concrete shoes, I live three houses behind Sponge Bob Square Pants.

A boat or a floating island would be better. Plus in international waters, there are no laws, its a blank canvas. If people wanted something more landbased, there are several lawless nations in the world. Annexing off a bit of land would not be difficult.

Hadron, have you seen Jaws? I can see a shark eating the island now! DADADADADADADADADADA! I like the lawless nation.

Krex is right, there is tons of shore land and islands for sale, no mountains. This is as close as I could find...

I'm in favor if allowing NTs be a part of our society....even if they are disabled. I'm certain that with proper therapy they'll adjust fine... regardless if they're high functioning or not. Perhaps we can even cure them.... :wink:

I think that such a nation would be great. But where would we start such a place? I'd move to one if it had fair laws and a temperate or cold climate. I think we should allow NTs to live there as well, because they can cope with things that aspies can't, and diversity is essential.

A reasonably sized island would be good, if there was anywhere. Someone should buy an island and invest in it, make it aspie orientated, and build it up into a powerhouse. I know how.

not to bust the bubble of the Aspie Nation...but i know/knew three aspies in my whole life besides me, and they drove me just as fecking crazy as any NT. last thing i want to do is live in a sea of ppl like me who can't take hints that i want to be alone or can't even see that i'm coming onto them cuz they can't read my signals. i don't need neighbors who keep repeating the same part of a song or movie and keep rewinding it for an hour. i'm not being a sour puss...i can just handle the behaviours of NT's better. i've personally had more mental overload from another AS.

nice idea...but no thank you. :wink:

I prefer the world as it is, though it needs fairer laws, jobs going on qualification not appearance. If anyone builds an aspie nation on a mountain or an island though i'd love to come for a holiday and see what it was like, for i love such places in nature.

We're just not accustomed to each other; since NT's are what we grow up surrounded by, and are exposed to our entire lives (IRL as well as through the media): their behavior appears 100% natural (even if we don't understand it; it's just what we're used to), and is how we expect people to act (even if we don't act that way ourselves).

No one says it wouldn't be awkward at first.

A lot of us have plenty of family members who are at least borderline, so we're already quite used to it.

Count me in!

YES!!!We will have a park reserve for wild beasts AND a petting zoo for the fur and animal obsessed aspies.
