I would not like that world.

arko5 and CrazyCatLord, I like you cats!


I think I would die. Or want to die. I love cats. And no, I am not the eHarmony lady who loves cats.

Yes, the world is clearly run by autistic people who rule over a subhuman neurotypical worker class :roll:


Nt's don't havethoughts. They are just pawns.

Gonna take the controversial route and say that humanity as a whole would be a little bit more 'healthy'. At the end of the day, from my point of view, autism is still a disorder.

That's not to say I'm miserable being autistic, or that any of us -either HFA or LFA or Asperger or PDD-NOS- can't come to live full and meaningful lives.

I'm just not sold on the theory that all revolutionary inventions were thought up by autistic minds.

^ I agree

They'd still be ADHD/ dyslexia/ Bipolar/ schizophrenia/ dyspraxia. And God knows what other disorders.

A lot of families would be better off because they wouldn't struggle with severe autism which was the first type of autism discovered, however, there are other forms of intellectual disabilities.

I think the world will be different but not too different. Some authors wouldn't write books, some scientists may not invent things, artists would not paint.

Many of the people in history who we say were autistic may not have been. They may have just been mild like other scientists who you could say have traits of autism. If we lost all those mild traits of autism in people too high functioning for a diagnosis would we be worse off? Well...we'd still have those other disorders. And those communities also think the world would be in a terrible place without them. You have some competition Aspergia.

I for one could not live in a world without Stephen Fry.
