What if everyone in the world were autistic?

What would happen?

We'd all be forced to wear hazmat suits.

Things would be more logical, there would be more acceptance of autistic people (obviously), Autism Speaks would shut down and NT Speaks set up (:lol:), and there would be no social problems and a lot less stress for us. Plus, things would get done a lot better because no matter what needs doing, there'll be Aspies obsessed with it.

A fairly complete breakdown in society.

Like it or not, it is the NT practice of working together cooperatively that gets food out of the fields and into the supermarkets; water out of the reservoirs (and, in fact, gets the reservoirs built) and into the pipes, and most of the other mod cons that we take for granted.

That is not to say that we are incapable of working together; but far too many of us are challenged by this. We rely on modern population centres to provide us with access to the necessities of life, but the "city" is an inherently NT structure.

the internet would become the only form of communication

Depends. How Autistic? If they're all severely Autistic, I imagine we'd all die. If the all had Aspergers, I don't know.

Remember, people don't suffer from Asperger's/autism, they suffer from the ignorance of others. With only us on the spectrum in the world, there would be less suffering! Woo!

@ Asp-Z: I genuinely laughed. Well done, sir/ma'am.

we would have flying cars and huge chrome megacities lol, nah ubt things would be a whole lot simpler for us

We'd all turn NT.

If everyone were at the same level as me, awesome. I wouldn't want all aspies to be like me, we all need to be different and thank goodness we all have different traits and are effected differently by the same traits and we all have different interests so there still be careers but there might be less sports or they might be less popular. I think they still exist because I know there are aspies out there who like sports and one of my aspie friends goes to the games. So I know there still be sports if everyone were AS.

imagine if only most of us were autistic. The NTs would be the minorities.
