Create an Aspergers State!

Post Reply New Topic

I just want to live in a place where people don't perceive of me as defective and incapable of performing jobs I apply for. Although it seems like a good idea, at first, to have an aspie-only state, we must also take into consideration those who have spouses and children who are neuro-typical. They might feel the same way in an autistic environment as we do in the NT world. Additionally, there's no guarantee that future children would be born aspies, even if both parents are autistic.

That is what we need, a place where we can be accepted as we are and not discriminated against. Face it, there will never be a pure aspie society, nor will there ever be a pure NT society. Just like there is no pure capitalism or pure colectivism, it's all along a spectrum.

The adjustment the NTs would have to make is they'd actually have to perform as opposed to just talking their way through life. If there were enough of us in an area, that sort of merit based culture would emerge and alot of us would be much better off. Nobody would be judging us by our clothes or how we talk, but by how good we are at what we do.

I think it is possible because other groups have been able to congregate in certain areas and have a big influence. San Francisco has a large homosexual population and their influence on that city cannot be ignored. These people vote, spend money, and so on.

If we could find a suitable area, perhaps we could make a difference and build a place that would welcome us. That is something I'd like to see happen.

Sophist, that's why God created Air Conditioners.

I wanna know why God created mothers that refuse to use air conditioning because it's 'too expensive'!

Ha! Yeah, phoenix. My mother is like that, too. We turned it on anyway, and when she came home, we all contributed 10c to pay for the cost, lmao! She had a good laugh about it. Its really pretty ridiculous. Electricity is pretty cheap. She comes in and checks the air conditioner, see if its been on. Pretty ridiculous.

Anyone else remember the Oceania project from way back? Some people were going to create a man-made floating island in international waters. It never quite made it off the ground but was fun to think about:

Historically, groups of people who felt marginalized or seperate from most of society would often take over a cheap neighborhood in a big city. Think about the various Chinatowns, the Castro area of San Francisco, etc. Perhaps you could look into the dynamics of how those neighborhoods formed? In theory I'd love to live in a more aspie-friendly area, but it would have to make financial sense and the weather would need to be favorable.

If we were talking about creating a State, then a lightly populated US State would be best. If we were talking about making a Country, than Western Australia or another place in the South Pacific with ample natural resources for industry would be best. It would need to be a very libertarian place. All manner of guns and also marjuana would have to be leagalized as a compromise (there would need to be some way to help keep their use seperate though), in an AS State/country, it would probably be best to put strict limits on the use of abortion, being too much like a form of eugenics. Free speech would be best to guarentee in a more American fashion where only obscinity (defined by by local standards) and inciting violence is illegal, to prevent any other restrictions being put into place for political agendas. We would have to have programs to assist people in getting a decent job (and AS employers would likely be more accomodating) because a welfare system of that potential size would make the government colapse.
