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.

No offence meant, I'm happy for you that you are not suffering but all I read about on this forum is how ASD impacts on peoples lives. Truth be told the only reason I wrote it that way is I'm lazy and it's less characters to type. I could of wrote "How Would People With ASD Fair In The Zombie Apocalypse" but that would taken up an extra 5 seconds of my life.

and a Minute less of typing that response.

I think us ASD's could relate to their problems pretty well and I'd be confident I could strike up a meaningful relationship with a zombie. I'm even open to the idea of marrying a zombie.

You have a fluffy imagination.

I'm trying to work out how you relate to Zombies. Yeah they have special interests , may say inappropriate things at times "Brains!!" , no good at small talk , fussy eaters , stim with their arms outstretched - not seeing the link

The human apocalypse is more likely. But that said I'd have no problem killing zombies, I imagine in such a situation things would become chaotic thus coming across weapons couldn't be too hard.

Some aspies will be very prepared, others won't.

@AspieUtah: Thanks, for posting that link----I scanned the first page, and bookmarked it with the hope of reading it more, in-depth, REAL soon!!

********************************

Ever since, several years ago, when I first started studying being a "green" person, I have wanted to be a prepper----never considered zombies, though! LOL I think it's a GREAT idea to think about / have food stores, bottled-water, toilet paper, ammunition, cash, medical supplies, and so-forth!

All so true! I prep primarily because I don't like waiting until my supplies are dwindled and used up before I rush out to pay top dollar for resupplies. When done with intention, prepping ends up saving families a lot of money ... regardless of the zombies in their neighborhoods.

Yeah, I agree!! Also, I almost ALWAYS buy in bulk, cuz the unit price is cheaper.

I don't suffer from autism either.
Well except the meltdowns and shutdowns.
And the cognitive impairments.
And the sensory overload.
And the inability to socialize.
And the inability to look after myself.
And the inability to talk. Then again, it could be the dyspraxia that's more to blame for that. But I don't suffer from dyspraxia any more than a person with no motor skills disorder suffers from not having a motor skills disorder. Forgive me if none of this makes any sense :wink:

My bad. I went with the title of the thread and didn't bother to see that this was another "NT" rant.

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?

I doubt any zombies would want to eat my brains.
Even zombies have standards, I imagine.

Thanks CC , I wish I could just switch off what I worry about. Seeing as he is only 12 and the new generation of ASDers ? , ASers ? , ASD's ? , ASDA ? ( Autistic Spectrum Disorder Aficionados ) I quite like his attitude and would love him to keep it but being a pessimist and having spent close to half a century on this planet I think he might struggle.

My theory is that AS people may fair a little better than most. I can only base my theory on film's and tv and it always seems that people seem to do fine until they trust other people or hook up up with other people.
