Aspergia becomes a nation! What do you do!

Control of your own food supply does not mean a bunker of fifty pound bags of dog food.

Beer is good, as is good bread, and meat. The area I am looking at has farming for melons, onions, lots of good food and very fresh. I can contract for year round fresh everything.

It is also on the main road to several large tourist attractions, well located for, the last stop before..

Calling it something like the Aspie Secret City, will drag in the curious from the spectrum.

Since their talents do lie in being unemployed, underemployed, and being unemployable, and they like to eat, they are a ready off the books labor force.

The working for a wage so you can live somewhere and eat, ends when you live somewhere and eat.

Money can be traced, but labor vanishes.

The location will bring in road trade, there is nothing else around. Motels and RV Parks do well, not as vast income, but as a constant cash flow. As a place to rest, perhaps an RV wash, to stock up on high quality fresh food, good bread, ( near National Parks the stores sell ice, Bunny bread, beer, and cokes).

Then we have our speciality in maps, and I have the 24" printers.

Phase two would be a staging area for guided hikes. CanyonWind's aspie would make a good tour guide. Seeing the best of National Parks it helps to have someone local with a pack mule, that can go in and set up a base camp, and have food waiting when the day hikers return.

Six horses, two mules, several guides, cooks, base tents, more for sleeping, and you have a package that will sell, and bring in good money. City Slickers done aspie style.

I do a lot of Geology tours, some gold panning, better rocks, and getting there, staying there, is the main problem. There are a lot of places where a day's panning will produce enough gold to see. Other places have semi precious stones. At a rock hound tourist educational level there is money in being the outfitter, and in the off season, better places to work.

As for the town, I like to eat and sleep. I have heard others do too. Sleeping is easy, food combined in a mess hall makes the most sense, chuck wagon style. Fresh, natural, right from the oven, with beer.

As for skills needed in town, it does need work, cleaning, painting, repairs, and building. This is adobe country. There is enough work that most could earn their bunk and grub.

I see aspie as a horse left too long in the stall, they need some outside, some trail work, and they will become good stock.

I do have some inside work, publishing, light manufacturing, so I am tooled up for the jobs. I picked a place with water, power, Post Office, UPS, because that is what I use. The easy way to make money is have next to no overhead.

I like what I do, but not where I live. The quality of life is the most important thing. To look out and see vast spaces, mountains, and to cross those mountains on foot, by horse, to spend time in nature, and to be under the clear night skys when the stars cover the sky. These are the times in my life I think the best. I would like to share the back country with groups of six for $500 a day.

In town I think an economy would develop beyond food and shelter. I am weak on marketing, until the internet came along. Better rocks do still sell, and in a down market, is the best time to spread your production and marketing, and be in place if it ever picks up again.

Of the skills I have space and systems. I can fix machines, design and build them, I am good at maps, which is geology, trails, and I do get along with animals. I can program a town. Water, food, shelter, sewer, and economic base.

So the town needs a mule skinner that can throw a diamond hitch, a cook, more writers, as I do have the machines to bind a thousand books a day, some internet marketers, web page development, lots of subjects, someone to work the pack train, riding horses, and guides that will learn the local land. There are some old hundred mile trails.

I do see the potential for aspie tourism. Most places are too busy for them to enjoy. I like silent, and not having to speak. In town or out on the trail it can be very relaxing. Renting a cabin in a National Park runs $50 a day and up, plus you have to bring your own bedding and food. Club Aspie can offer a package deal.

There are people who can only live where they can work, those who can afford to live, where rates are low, and those who can afford to live, and invest in business development. There are those like myself who have a business that needs to relocate.

Then there are those who would start fires, shoot at passing cars, and demand UN recognition. Hangings will be held Tuesday after lunch.

I do not see this as a homeland, just a place where the odd pieces found on WP could fit together and build something. I have learned a lot about autism on WP, and seen the world view change in a few years. I think the true test of it will come in isolated projects, being out in nature, working with animals. This is a minimalist support system.

As for a nation, or city, those things start from a village that works, grows, and is copied by other villages, forming a local culture that spreads because it works.

A system has all the parts needed to function, nothing missing, nothing extra.

Build myself a 1960s type house and fill it with vintage appliances and British records, and Routemasters. I'd also get a drum set like the one that Mick Avory used in the 1960s, with the kinky boots logo, custom made just for me.

I'd have to move there before I do all that, though.

I'd lobby to give people the power of non-lethal self-defense. In other words, everyone should be allowed to use a weapon of some sorts to disperse people who give them trouble. I'm referring to things like stink bombs, flashbang grenades, tear gas, tasers, pepper sprays, and of course, Mosquito alarms. Also, I'd make all lockers in school wired to an alarm system, to prevent aspies' lockers from being broken into by bullies.

I'd grab some kevlar, a light MG and as much ammo as possible and bunker in. A nation run by people with aspergers would inevitably be militarily run for at least a while. Mostly non-socialising peoples give way to whoever has guns/is willing to shout louder.

After that? Build mecha. I'm sure there'd be a research facility built within months of it's establishment.
