If Aspies Ruled The World

Post Reply New Topic

I think maybe the best way to make a happy world for everyone is for both neurotypicals and Aspergians to rule it. That way, everyone is accepted. There would be a complete brotherhood, and neurotypicals would finally see why we refuse to be cured.

Uh, I wouldn't want to be surrounded by black and white thinkers who don't respect my opinions and beliefs and harass me until I agree with their views. I also wouldn't want to be be surrounded by a bunch of rude people who always want to talk about their special interests but never want to hear me talk about mine. Those would put me into a meltdown and then I am screaming at them and maybe slapping them to shut up.

...then WrongPlanet would be a forum of NTs to sit around and complain about how the Government doesn't understand them and doesn't meet their needs.

Plus ça change, plus ça reste pareil.

The answer is simple, if aspies ruled the world, aspies would succeed and NTs would have difficult lives.

If you want to discuss what would happen if aspies filled the ranks of government, that depends on the form of government. If it's the republican form of government or the parliamentarian form of government, politicians would still argue, though they'd argue about different things. However, in the United States, both Democrats and Republicans would cease to exist as parties because neither party has a consistent platform. Third parties would replace them because they do have consistent beliefs, which would be deemed to be more logical.

If the form of government were a dictatorship, it depends on the dictator.

If I were the dictator, here's what it would look like: (My reply assumes I would only be the dictator of the United States, and not the world, because I have never been to another country.)

First of all, bullying would come to an end. I would simply have the bullies pulled out of class, and then I would have them lined up against the closest brick wall where they would face the firing squad.

There would be some changes to driving regulations. It would become a serious traffic offense for people in a vehicle to scream and yell at pedestrians or bicyclists when they drive by. The punishment would be an immediate license suspension of everybody in the car who has a license, and the car would be seized and towed away on the spot.

The same punishment would apply to motorists who flip off other drivers for no apparent reason and to motorists who flip off other drivers when they. themselves, are in the wrong.

I would immediately have all road signs, government documents, and standards switched to the metric system. The metric system is orderly. The system we use now is out of order and makes no sense to me.

The speed limit would be the speed for which the engineers designed the highway, and not some arbitrary number a politician pulled out of his butt.

I would also have to renumber all of the highways so they are all in numerical order.

I would also make some minor changes to TV and film. My only rule would be is that the shy or "socially awkward" person can no longer be cast as the rapist, pedophile, murderer, or other bad guy.

Hey guys, sorry for the late repl to this interesting thread.

I'd also like to add that if Aspies ruled the world lol, the population would decrease dramatically, as many Aspies are asexual.

Hardly any of my Aspies friends, nor most Aspies I know have any children, but we all have lots of pets.

I'd love a world with less unwanted children and criminals, and more loving dogs and cats.

After reading many different threads on this topic, I've concluded that they all contribute fairly solid evidence that Autism really is all about a "one mind, one world view" concept. IOW: each of us tends to think that the way we think is how everyone thinks (at first), then goes through a stage of thinking that Aspies think as we think. Eventually, or at least hopefully, we come to understand that our own world view is uniquely our own, and not exactly like anyone else's.

My idea of what a world run by Aspies would be isn't exactly like anyone's idea but my own. The same is true for all of us.

Please, please, please, International Day(s) of Silence??? Animals on every corner to pet whenever you need them? Weighted blankies and heating pad stations for naps? Stricter driving rules? And possibly actual "routes" for people to follow? Free black t-shirt day at Old Navy? Oh, the possibilities are endless. *sighs*
