I guess living in Japan would be kind of great, exept I am kind of an individualist, and I don't actually like beeing correct and beeing overly-polite all the time. Allthought I must say, japanese people are the nicest people I have ever met, but I haven't been to Japan.
Isn't Japan a little bit over-populated too? The cities at least..

Methinks that thos with HSD would tend to find mainstream society kinda dreary, and would isolate themselves into small groups. They might be extremely, well, antisocial, lashing out at a civilisation they see as far too intellectual and individual-oriented.

Or instead, we could teach the HSDs to build and love the little train sets in their gardens.It would be fun to watch people with HSD finally appreciating the beauty in the little things in life. And for people with dwarfism, give them high-ranking positions. They look so awesome. They rule!!

If aspies were the majority, without a doubt careers where the value of the individual is more appreciated than that of being a "team player" (the arts, for instance) would be immensely more appreciated, starving artists putting their work on the web (musicians, cartoonists, illustrators) would actually be able to make a living, and cultural organizations wouldn't be running out of funds, ever.

Also, there wouldn't be no societal pressure to "make it", to "climb the corporate ladder", no I'm-the-big-boss-so-listen-to-me-and-shut-up attitudes in the workplace. And people would be judged by their personalities and human quality rather than by the size of their bank accounts - now, we like money, and I certainly like to be able to splurge on myself once in a while, but money still should be seen as a means to an end, rather than an end in itself.

And, I guess, the Democrats would always win every election too.

And as well as that there will hopefully not be a democracy that relies upon political parties (because that is failing in everything other than usher i the world of 1984) and instead replace it with elected elders from every community who do not have allegiance to a party and so will not be biased in decisions other than to aid their people.
