neurotypicality would be seen as a dangerous mental illness, requiring therapy and medicated

I would like this. I have a lot of trouble with traffic noise from the street outside my apartment.

I would love to never have to worry about driving or being in a car. There's also a lot of autistic or otherwise disabled people who can't drive.

I like this one, too. I just got my driver's license last month, but there were many years during which I couldn't learn to drive because of a combination of issues.

Also, thank you magz for the moderation.

Automobiles would be regarded as tools. A means to an end. And not as status symbols.

Yeah.

Buildings being soundproofed would definitely make life a lot easier. Also, I hate driving and need public transport to take me everywhere. Ideally trains. What makes me unable to drive is multitasking (looking forward, back, accelerating etc simultaneously) and dealing with people (too many troublesome people on the road).

Plus, music banned in public places.

As soon as I saw the title of the thread, this is exactly the kind of thing I thought of. I'm always amazed at the amount of loud alarms, sirens and grinding mechanical noises that I hear in my "quiet" suburban neighborhood. On my planet, car alarms, in particular, would not exist at all.

I don't drive, so I appreciate this as well.

Also, on my planet, there would be no forms to fill out. Or, if that's not viable, then what few forms there are would be written as clearly and concisely as possible.

Computers would never need to update while you're using them.

Websites would be designed so that their most vital functions could be accessed from the main page, not hidden down a labyrinth of sub-menus.

Night people would be accepted and not told that they need to adjust to the standards of morning people.

Creativity and individuality would be valued by society. (This is a tricky one. I feel like individually, people are supportive of my being creative and being myself, but that society as a whole would be much happier if I was replaced by an efficient robot. This is so central to my identity that I don't know who I would be in a society where I'm just accepted as I am.)

Paper coupons would not exist, so that I would never be asked, "Did you remember to use the coupon I gave you?" because no, I will never remember to use the coupon you gave me.

No more intergenerational sh*t and wealth gap.
Or at least everyone is invested in intergenerational issues before worrying about the future generations.

There should be a parenting class that isn't limited to up to toddler age and all about rising neurotypical children.

Live bands and choirs should be at least several kilometers from ANY residential area. No exceptions. Not even for religious related reasons.
Violation would be either fined, revoke whatever business they have, or ban individuals entirely.

Anyone with a karaoke machine or at least does karaokes on a regular basis should have a room that sounds proofs them FROM surrounding and still quiet places.
Individuals who do not follow are either have their equipments taken away and fined, or at worst, ban them.

Every city has a very strict layout where residential areas are, where the business district is, where the agricultural sectors would be.

Any irresponsible pet owners who: let their pet stink the neighborhood, let their pets terrorize passersby, and if it barks too loud on a regular basis as opposed to security reasons -- are all threatened to take their pets away.

No more men urinating in public areas. Because women generally don't so why not?
Really, this isn't much of a problem elsewhere, so why not also apply everywhere else in the world except where rest rooms are actually unavailable like in forests?

Internet is free, along with anything else already mentioned.

I wouldn't really want my planet or its inhabitants to be perfect because that would get boring. But in most of my cartoons where there is no, ableism, racism, misogyny, pollution, or life-threatening disease, there are no humans, either. I've been reading a lot lately about countries where just visiting them is extremely dangerous, and I noticed how these places are usually very beautiful and scenic and it's 99% that it's the humans that make it really dangerous. And of course they make it dangerous for the other life forms living there.

Say they are lying. In any situation.

1) Ban on loud exhaust pipes; harsh punishment for breaking this law
2) Very harsh punishment for first-time DUI, which would then escalate with subsequent DUI's
3) Hardcore enforcement of barking dog rules
4) Outlaw TikTok
5) No HOV lanes
6) Outlaw loud music in public places or entertainment venues
7) Mandatory life sentence, no parole, for all rapists, child molesters and murderers
8. Eye for Eye punishment for child abusers; plus sterilization
9) Total overhaul of the welfare system
10) Significant cut of foreign aid; sink the money into a cancer cure.

Any questions?

One more: It would be illegal to talk on one's wireless while on the gym floor. I'm seeing this more and more, and this includes talking while literally lifting weights, or immediately after an exhausting set of barbell squats. What is WRONG with these people? They can't hold off on the conversation until AFTER they leave the gym or BEFORE they enter it? Are they showing off their technology, even though wireless communication is now commonplace? Is it arrogance to show everyone how busy they are? Is this an NT thing, or do autistic people do this too? There were two this evening at the gym. I kept hearing them droning; they're talking and talking but nobody's there (that's what it looks like).

Not only that, but a LOT of people at the gym have those damn wireless earbuds in....just waiting for that earth-shaking call. I guess they'd feel lost if they weren't on stand-by for a connection?

I have similar feelings sometimes about people using smartphones, but not so intense as to make me want to ban them outright, unless I'm having a bad day. I have some sympathy with the view that "devices" are just another means of communicating with people. I suspect it's not particularly an Aspie thing to dislike smartphones, as the other Aspies I know in real life like them, and I know of (presumed) NTs who rail against smartphones - also I can't think how disliking them could be readily explained by any of the known autistic traits (except maybe the ringtones which are usually too loud and aesthetically unpleasant to my ears). I think in my case it's an age thing, but I can't be sure.

Decent housing at an affordable price would be a universal right, and everybody would actually get that. Properly funded social housing - no more slum landlords who take 3/4 of your income then kick you out on the street on a whim.

Just forests, wildlife, and nature, with no judgmental humans around.

Disabilities/differences wouldn't have the stigma/taboo as they do in this society. That includes using various aid to assist with whatever is needed, such as ear protection, stim toys, or whatever someone needs for whatever issues they have: mobility aids, personal hygiene products, service animals, visual aids, care staff, ect..

I also liked the op's suggestion of rooms for actually resting out in public. As someone who also has POTS, that would be a tremendous help when I am not feeling well and need to lie down. At least now that I drive everywhere I have my vehicle I can retreat to if I am able.
