How to run an all aspie world? because it may happen soon!

Post Reply New Topic

This post is meant kind of tongue in cheek (whatever that means.. "tongue in cheek") but actually if you look at the autism statistics you will see that maybe I'm putting it as a joke just because I just don't want to accept that this is actually REAL.

Well if you look at the statistics about the raise of Asperger's diagnoses, you will see the curve is exponential. so it will soon reach 100% of born children either Aspie or have kanner autism. As far as I can tell the Graphs tell exactly that.
So I believe soon we will have to take care of the world and that's kind of a problem because I personally can barely take care of myself. And we will even have to take care of people with classic autism so lets face it we will be basically in deep deep trouble. Aspies will take the role the NTs in the next century (maybe even sooner).
so what?
we need to come up with a plan how we are going to do this beforehand because I think preparing for such thing is hard and I personally love to always be 100% prepared?
the other problem is that the current system will 100% not work at all. everything aspect of almost anything needs to be redesigned from scratch! like think of school, or universities and colleges and how they work (you actually gatherat a central place to learn science?!WTF). Or the law etc.

so please lets come up with ideas to how to do this when the time comes (or write a manifesto .

It's also a good training for the imagination....

It's not going to be everybody.

The numbers are climbing so fast because they used to overlook a lot of people.

It will level off at about 3% of the population having some form of autism.

That's a long way from "everybody."

But it would still be good for us to think about how we're going to take care of each other.

Some days, I think Aspies are already taking care of the world. Like, we're the ones who are always thinking about right and wrong (while a lot of NTs just think about winning). We're the ones who think about responsibility (while a lot of NTs just think about fun, at least until they have kids). We're the ones who think about fairness. We're the ones who watch and listen and think about stuff.

I hope you are right. (although I personally am a crazy person and love that to happen just for the hell of it. I'm really curious about the outcome)

but I also believe that we should start to help ourselves in anyway instead of being dependent on NTs to make up stuff for us. like therapies and interventions and courses and such. I think Aspies themselves can come up with more practical and useful ideas about what to do with themselves than letting NTs manage our treatment and maybe life.

all aspie schools run by aspies and real self help groups with actual goal oriented plans scientific plans and such come to my mind.

screw it I'm in favor of a parallel society. (yeah I'm an extremist)

I can't imagine it happening because the world is too big and as time comes they do find more aspie/autistic people but more treatments and cures and preventions are found also

PLEASE don't take this personally... but that idea sounds a little... outlandish.

Asperger's Syndrome has only been officially part of the DSM for 20 years. Of course diagnoses are on the rise. Think about all the older people on these forums who went through a huge chunk of their life (and all of their early life mind you) having no idea why they were so screwy. Now please understand that there are still people exactly like them today who haven't even heard of AS. As awareness increases- so will diagnoses.

I'm not saying that it's impossible that there were more aspies born in 2010 than there were in 2000... but I am saying that I doubt that there is any data valid enough to definitively indicate that it is true. You are going to need more TIME to actually figure out for sure if there are in fact substantially more autistic people over time.

Now... just in case someone has a source that for sure proves that all that I said is moronic please let me know and provide the source. Don't just say, "You're an idiot shut up"... I mean, I'm not your mom but constructive criticism would be appreciated.

Thanks.

WOW! We always talk about how an all aspie world would not work and now you're telling me that evolution is now phasing out all the NT for aspies? If you think about it. In the modern world we live in today. there is less face to face contact as a means of communication and more internet and cell phone use. So ya, maybe aspies are well suited for the modern world. Also. Aspies seem to be more in harmony with nature where as NT's are destroying the environment by exploiting it's resources to no end.

Just because the number of diagnosis went up doesn't mean the actual number of Aspies has gone up, it just means that more people are recognizing it and getting it officially diagnosed.

I don't actually know, but I seriously doubt that the percentage of Aspies, diagnosed or otherwise, in the general population has increased significantly. I'd be willing to bet the ratio of Aspies to total population has stayed roughly the same. Even if it is increasing I am sure it will level off without coming even close to what you are describing. Graphs can be misleading.

we are all humans, honestly reading this you would think we don't want to be understood by NTs and wanting equality, we don't want to ostracise ourselves, we are all human, diverse and individual its not split up of just NT and autistic people.
