I have one rifle with limited ammo, live in a heavily populated area and have no money for supplies. I'm using one bullet and that's for myself.

Well, I already view most neurotypicals as zombies. Think about it.

-Creatures of pure pleasure seeking. Especially those in authority.
-Don't want to have fun at work or be happy in life.
-Don't want to work hard or be efficient at it.
-Desperately don't want to offend someone through action or inaction
-Don't stand for anything. They have no principles.



Lol the first two sentences contradict each other and the rest is BS.

Why are you trying to bring fantasy into a serious thread :lol:


And zombies are entirely more feasible than wolfmen how? Also I suppose the best option would be to go track down the necromancer summoning the zombies and put a stop to them, since as much fun as killing tons of zombies would be the'll just keep coming till you stop the necromancer. lol

A zombie apocalypse will favour highly organised tightly bonded groups who thrive in high stress conditions. People with health issues or who can't stay liked by a team will die. AS people are f****d

OTOH aspies might have a head start because most people will be emotionally denying the problem and engaging in feelgood groupthink panic as it happens making themselves easy targets

Anyone wanna set up the Aspie Republic with a written constitution of self-defense and supporting each other?


No I'll take my chances with my boyfriend, my brother and other people I know that I'd likely end up grouped with in the event of a zombie apocalypse...I just trust the people I actually know more than some clan of aspies I don't know.

There will never be a zombie apocalypse. But if there is ever any other more likely kind of apocalypse I pretty much consider myself dead. How will I be able to continue taking my prescription meds? One of the withdrawl symptoms of one of them is "brain shocks", I will no longer be able to sleep, and I'd be so unable to function even now without them.

It's probably better to die in a world that would no longer be worth living in, it's nearly like that now. Except that I'm not sure there's an afterlife and that dying will be the same as before I was born. No before life, so no afterlife.

Yeah I had feeling that my joke might backfire. It was just an attempt at humour. This forum may not be suitable for my style of humour , sorry if you thought I believed in zombies.

Thats why the "Twilight' series is so educational.

We all have learned from various movie franchises that vampires dont get along with warewolves.
But from watching Twilight I learned that in America most vampires are White (descended from European immigrant undead)while most American Warewolves are descended from Native American First Nation lupine lineages who were already here before Columbus (ie they are all American Indians).

Who knew?

I sure as heck never knew that!


I also learned from watching Twilight that Warewolves are very ADHD in behavior (or atleast Bela Swan's warewolf boyfriend was), while Vampires tend to be very aspergian in temperament.

So ASD folks might be able to match wits against vampires, while ADHD folks would be better than NTs at dealing with a warewolf plague. But all three:NTs, ASDers, and ADHDers, would all be equally helpless in the face of a zombie apocalypse.

Are you a prepper?

How do you think ASD Sufferers will fair?
What qualities will give them the edge over their NT counterparts?


- Well, i'm into preparedness but i have moved on to bushcraft as a natural extension of prepping. I've slept outside a few times and it isn't that bad. Even got a portable solar panel now that can charge my smartphone.

- I think so, my family is getting tired of me asking them to store extra Sawyer minis and Mountain House curries :)

- Some better, some worse.

- Well... i can only speak for myself: I can deal with loneliness better, i'm more pragmatic and i have a good memory, the stuff i have learned i have also practised and i have invented a few things to make life easier. I know how to navigate (since a child), i got medical training from the armed forces and i got a BOB and a BOL.

I think a certain degree of emotional obliviousness, combined with ingenuity and creativity, will come in handy when civilization crashes and walkers roam our cities. Carefully calculating what to do in potentially deadly scenarios beforehand will be necessary for continued survival.
