If all the world was populated with aspies... I have absolutely no idea if that would be a plus thing or not... I believe there wouldn't be any wars though... and less crime. Other than that I'm not sure at all what to think it would be like...

There would be more crime online than in real life. More prankster hackers, less firecrackers.

We would be called "neurotypical" and the NT-type people would be the ones labeled with the syndrome.

It'd be kind of scary, especially if they were all like me!

We may yet find out; insufficient data over an insufficient period of time, but my gut tells me things are trending in that direction, and there's a link with our exponential charge up the ramp into the information age. We'll see.

To answer the question, I envision a world very much like that painted in The Matrix; except with the oh so subtle tweak that instead of computers running things and using humans for a power source, it would be aspies running things and using NT's as a power source. And, of course, I would be Neo, which makes sense simply because I think it does. Ah, what a fun thought.

Good fortune,

No, I would. I'd be the Most Supreme Emperor of Earth!
