Anyone think an aspie Proto-B or Dunbar would be possible?

An at-length GameB post by Jim Rutt on Medium about his thoughts for the GameB reseeding of culture and the building of various enclaves, or Dunbars, for people who are interested in reassembling civilization.

I think it's a very interesting idea and it's the kind of thing I think I could really enjoy if I do find any GameB people in my area. I think in the early days, like the first few decades of this sort of thing, the most important questions would be 'what can we build' or 'how can we maximize human happiness and human resource together?'. Even if I look at my genes and agree that I'm not going to be a husband or father I could at least see myself being happy if I knew that I was working and living in a society that was going to make it / going to be okay.

Let me know what you guys think. I think ideas like this can sound a bit 'culty' at first, for a good reason - it has a lot of the components just not a religion. It's a bit more like what you might get if you had a few thousand avid Sam Harris fans get together and try to make a town or two based on 'Waking Up / Making Sense' principles.

My guess, if anyone tried building an aspie Dunbar it's probably something that would happen in a few decades *if* GameB and Proto-B groups started seeding in any direct capacity and from there they'd probably want to just grab the best template and run with it. I say that because starting these will start with and require financial self-sufficiency even with mutual support and so we'd have to equally figure out what kind of economy and commerce understandings could work for an aspie population.
