we'll be left with a society of people who all tell long, boring stories about their overseas trips instead of just showing photographs.
as opposed to having to wade through hundreds of boring photographs?
can't think which would be worse.
actually, don't people tend to tell you the fascinating story behind each and every photograph anyway?
is there no respite to this relentless horror?

I have to speak up here. So, are you saying that autistics should have special allowances and reprives from the thought police that you would otherwise enact to exile right-brained people from society, or is it just any group that you, an obvious non-sociopath, belong to, that should be exempt from this proposed solution to a better society?
Yes.
Which is it? There are two options. Both bad, might I add. I was assuming that you'd clarify so that what you proposed actually sounded reasonable; or maybe the point of the post was to be unreasonable for the sake of humor?

Uh... lots of autistic people have higher performance than verbal IQ (which in itself does not mean anything about cerebral dominance, only poor verbal skills or really good "performance" skills or a combination of both).
And advocating for eliminating any group of people from the planet... ugh. Hasn't that been tried already?

A thousand pieces of applause for pointing out that last sentiemnt there.
I have no idea what you might be talking about.
You're joking, I have to assume. Of course having AS and not having the benifit of seeing any expression other than am emoticon is a decided disadvantage in assesing this.
