If there was a planet just for autistic ppl, would you leave this planet to go live there? Like saying if there was an autistic president, autistic teachers, autistic everything.. would you drop everything you do or have here, and go there?

I wouldn't want to leave my family and I do like some NTs - my lecturers/tutors at university are nice and I'm guessing they're all or mostly NT. If I wasn't close to my family then I probably would though, as long as there were cats.

Maybe so, but I think I would still feel a bit homesick to stay there.
Plusses are probably: Everyone will know that you have autism/aspergers, I'm guessing most of us would be nice and sensible to one another, and it would be just that bit easier to make friends.
Negatives are probably: As I said, homesickness. And right now I can't think of anything else. But homesickness on it's own would be a big problem.

Maybe, maybe not.

There are just as many AS/HFA's that I dislike just as there are NT's.
Other Aspies tend to just understand me better, however all in all I would like my own planet with my lovely technologies and space to roam, build, learn, expand, ect.

Which than I may communicate with the Aspie planet that is near by, upon occasion I may visit.

I'd miss my two best friends if I was to move to an autistic planet.

Pretty much same here. But as well as cats I'd like lots of other animals too please!

What's wrong with taking over this one?

And have you seen the problems in our Ozone layer recently? Sheesh, we really aught to move to another one.

Somehow I have a feeling that my purely mechanical planet would be just as unhealthy.. or heavy.

Don't think you'll get many volunteers for that one. I doubt there are many of us who fall for the old "we have to kill more of their people than they can kill of ours to prove we're right" schtik.

I'm in, this is just because I like war and violence and find war strategy awesome.

If it didn't cost too much and I was guaranteed I could breathe on this planet, and if my family could come, then yes.
