Back in the 80's or 90's Sixty Minutes did this tongue-in-cheek segment about Finland. And its gloomy culture.
But there is hope. They were importing a big dose of ...tango! But even the Finnish version of tango is not quite the same as the familiar hot blooded Latin American kind of tango.


I love both versions of tango.

Scottish people are autistic.

If the world is Autistic, then Filipinos are NTs. :lol:
To the point that Western Psychology somehow describes the Filipino Personality like a cynical Aspie describing an NT complete with monotonous and technical descriptions and the like. Seriously... Even informal or heck, cynical natives that may or may not have a pseudointellectual streak, just minus monotones.


I dunno... I don't base the Autistic culture with traits and desires alone. :|
What would happen to autistics who aren't reserved, shy, or quiet? Who aren't into STEM subjects and the like? It mattered a little if the cultural traits stems from the NT theory of mind.
I'd say, I base the Autistic culture with the Autistic theory of mind -- and I'd sought an NT culture that developed something a bit similar or at least accustomed to said theory of mind -- where they expect that a native could be different from another. And no, it's not multiculturalism.

Ironically, I may or may not have been with such NT culture with all my life. :wink: Since I'm a pessimistic about it, I'd bet the latter. :twisted:
