I am just curious about the name we'd give to a hypothetical country for people diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome, autistic disorder/childhood autism, atypical autism, and pervasive developmental disorder not otherwise specified.

I say use something from Lord of the Rings. Everything I can think of sounds stupid. Maybe we'd need to try other languages?

L'Autique. Or Asperagias, but that sounds too familiar.

I voted Autopia because I agree that it sounds cool (though Elvish could offer something better, I imagine).

My biggest concern, however, would not be what to call the country but where to put it. All the major landmasses are already taken. =^;.;^=

Or what about naming as it's geographical location? Like 45.64.78 or whatever. That's cool and autistic at the same time.

You guys seem to be overlooking the fact that all favorable land masses are occupied, so we will first need to raise, equip, train, and mobilize an invasion force to take one that has the untapped resouces to support a stong economy.
