Restricted immigration, you can gain citizenship automatically so long as you have certified AS/Autism, have no criminal record, and if so, it will be reviewed. NTs and their families can be allowed in if they meet certain criteria, e.g are professionals in search of work, engineers, researchers, doctors, teachers, and so on. Other people can be allowed in for visits, with limited stay times, or on working visas.

Perhaps it sounds a little extreme, but it's neccessary.

That actually sounds good. I think if you ran for a role in politics, i'd vote for you.

I'm actually very interested in this idea, and I'm willing to do what it takes to make this idea a reality.

Glad to know that.

First things first, cash is needed.

Indeed. so how are we going to go about making cash??? Someone could have a cafe press. and there could be t-shirts with the name of the island/community, and such, so we could raise money.

And lots of it.

I plan to try my hand in business, see how much cash I can get from I don't know.... attempting to advance up the ranks of a business, coming up with lots of smart, but obvious to me ideas that will show my talent and get me promoted...

If not, I'll just come up with a great idea and start my own business, whilst attempting to get cash from various sources.

We'll need hundreds of millions £ just to make this thing work.

So yes, a distant dream, maybe. Then, when you get the cash, where is going to be purchased, and how would you go about declaring sovereignty?

Construction engineers and workers will be essential at the start. There's all sorts of things to consider. Roads, water, buildings, electricity, gas, transportation, everything.

Lots of work ahead. :lol:

lets seriously think about this and breaking up the financial costs first.

Lets say we have 1000 people (hardly call it a nation without that) to start. Each donating a thousand USD to the nations development. That would be a solid million. Now first is finding a suitible location. Lets be honest, we are aspies, industry will be the backbone of our economy. So really any region would be good. Then we have to impliment an electrical, communication, sewage, transportation, and water system. I dont know what these things would run us though, could someone please find out?

exluding us from everyone else in one island would cause our evolution to change and we would become a different species.
speaking fo which what would happen when two aspie parents have a non aspie child?
it would be curel to seprarate them.
or would it :twisted:
