But we DO have the same values and everything... co-existing with our obsessions, leaving each other alone, not picking on each other, not having to be ashamed of being ourselves, giving each other moral support and just a vacation place to meet! It's also a cool place to show NT shrinks so that they can learn more about us.

Yep, he's that extreme exception to the rule (parts per million) that everyone points to as evidence that that the rest are bad / defective / wrong / sick / wacko -- insert favorite pejorative here. You have to have exposure to them before you can make any kind of reasoned judgment of them. Read up on http://www.ic.org and see the other 99%. Yeah, there are some religious groups in that list too -- Ashrams and the like -- not all of which are unbalanced either -- but there are also an awful lot of pretty decent groups of people choosing to live together for lots of different reasons ranging from a desire for community to cooperative finances for college students.

Ana, I like your idea and agree with the values you listed above, but I have to say that not everyone's sees eye to eye and should have a right to disagree and live in disagreement peacefully.
The other people are saying an Asperger Commune would be a cult, I'm saying it would be a unique getaway from the hell of living with NT's but would have nothing to do with religion or politics as our views on those are not all the same.
As an example I present myself: I am a young earth creationist, fundamentalist nondenominational Christian, and supporter of the Constitution Party. How many people share my views on this planet? I believe everyone has a right to believe and think what they want in this life, but after death some will be more right than others.

I totally agree that wwe should live peacefully with our own religions, whatever. We have the right to do that; the point of this isn't to turn us into one person, jsut to bring us closer together in a huge aspect of our lives.

Agreed.
Just wondering, but what kind of economy will the commune be? Will we live off the land or import the food? How will we pay for taxes? What kind of businesses will their be? How will the businesses be run? The Army blocked me from joining because I have Asperger's, so can we block NTs from work?
