Aspie Nation

Post Reply New Topic

your best bet for an aspie society is a space ship.



some day, we'll get off this rock. that or die. we don't have much choice in the matter.

when the technology to truly leave this planet comes, we will have much much much more territory. there will be heinously evil civilizations of torture and depravity. there will be altruistic societies with peace and justice for all. there will be many in between.

i fear that i will never see this time but i mean it when i say it's your best bet.

Aspie Nation. Too small to be a republic and too large to be an insane asylum.

Last time I checked, it had a population of 25,000.

I don't see any real reson why a nation can't go any smaller. Conceivably, one person could declare independence. They'd have tom import a lot, though, if they want a high standard of living...

Hmmm I can just see it now; a colony made up of self absorbed people who avoid eye contact, misinterpret what is being said, cannot read facial expressions, have difficulty working well in groups and are extremely argumentative, not forgetting the often associated traits like OCD, PDD, ADD etc. Wow this colony is really gonna thrive!! To cap it all off you want this group of people that also enjoy isolation to live together on boats. What a recipe for one huge collective meltdown

I suspect that the OP may be a eugenicist.

There's been discussion of an Aspie 'Nation' in the AS/NT hatred thread. Perhaps one of our mods can merge all appropriate posts together?

I would like to preface this post my stating that I do not believe that I am engaged in "necromancy" for a month old thread. I was unaware this thread existed, since most "aspie community" discussions have been on the general or members only forums.

The location of an aspie community has actually been the third biggest problem, far behind the second problem, how such a community should be governed, and the largest problem of all, how to support (finance) such an undertaking.

Obviously, from the fact that this discussion is taking place without any case studies, none of the concepts brought forth to date have had sufficient merit to rate actual construction.

1. As suggested, start out as a commune.

2. As noted above, your male/female ratio will suck.

3. Can two aspies have a non-aspie child? If so, you will eventually have to deal with non-aspies in your midst, or impose some draconian rules.

4. Communes have been around long enough, I'm sure some one has written a book, "Starting a commune for dummies."

5. Perhaps you can solve the male/female ratio by making it a combination commune / cult. The cult members would be NT females who are indoctrinated to worship aspies. Then you solve the male/female ratio. Plus, you can seek status as a religion. So many things in the Bible are now viewed as metaphorical by Christians, we could claim that the second coming of Jesus, or the angels of vengeance from Revelations, is a metaphor for the coming of Aspies, who are a more angelic version of humanity (higher ethical standards, more honest, more intelligent, etc.) Maybe many Aspies rock or flap their hands because they are used to having angel's wings and it is a subconscious memory they are acting out. Anyway, the point is, an Aspie-based religion pretty much writes itself. If you want, I can help draft an Aspie bible. All I ask is a few of the hottest female cult members all for myself. I was also briefly in a cult, and know first-hand how to break down a person's psyche and turn them into a sheepish follower...in fact, I think my AS served as a secret defense, because ultimately the illogic of what was happening just got to be too much and I quit.
