I don't think this is true. There are more NTs in tech/IT etc than aspies


Read the OP again, the numbers are equal in this scenario. So, if the number of NTs in the world is equal to the number of Aspies, we would have the majority of the IT sector covered, because, even if it's true that there are more NTs in IT than Aspies (and I don't believe it is, but that's beside the point), that would only be so because NTs outnumber Aspies in the general population.

Besides, we'd have Gary McKinnon on our side! ;)

lol That's true

I did read the OP though - the numbers would be equal, but the NTs would have many more tech/IT people to choose from

Since we make up less than 1% of the population, I think we'd have a little trouble.


Gah, I can't read today. Sorry, I missed the part where you said the numbers would be equal. I don't know... =X

I wouldn't fight. I can go retire in a cave somewhere all by myself and be happy. No need to be in the war.

Why must there always be an "us vs. them" mentality? Why can't people coexist?

My team is better than your team. Let's fight.
My country is better than your country (and by the way, I hate you because our governments are at odds over ideological differences). Let's fight.
My daddy is better than your daddy. Let's fight.
My god is better than your god. Let's fight.

Who would win?Why? Assume that the Neurotypicals and ASD in the war are both equal in terms of numbers.


The idea is absurd.

1. There is no reason for it, or at least no logical reason.
2. Aspies our vastly outnumbered so they would not participate in such a struggle. They would lose for sure.

I don't believe myself to be particularly intelligent, but I thank you for the compliment nonetheless.
