Autistic people are superior!

Post Reply New Topic

Ok, here's another idea I had.

You know how restaurants are always really busy during meal times, but on off hours everyone kind of stands around waiting for something to happen?

Well what if you had a restaurant and rented the tables out on off hours? Like if pay me so much a month, you can come and sit here for as long as you want and do your drawing or writing or whatever you want, and we'll give you coffee and (maybe throw in some healthy snacks), but if you stay during rush hour you have to buy a meal. THat way people could have a nice friendly place to "work," and the restaurant could always have customers.

We could have like startrekker said, one quiet place - no stupid cell phone calls blabbering on, but another section where they could.

Another thing about doing something with ideas is that you figure things out during the doing and come up with all kinds of new ideas or problems to solutions that you encounter during the doing, so it is the doing part that contains the best sub-ideas of the main idea, and sets the foundation for the next thing that you want to do or makes possible something that wasn't possible before, not even in idea form.

I like the idea of making a toilet where you have to squat more. I also think if you don't want splash back then put the lid down. My sister has OCD and likes to remind us about all the e-coli spreading everywhere if we leave it up.

Also, why do men have to pee in a public restroom while looking at each other? Here's an idea - walls!

I like coming with my own solutions to stuff. I've probably thought of better things than the above though. The best ones happen in long car rides.

Must be an Aussie thing!?

Cats are superior!

Well, Autistic people can be pretty great, but cats might be even more superioror.

I just had to put soft paws on my cat, he does not like them, but he is a good boy!

Thread title is stupid.

I totally agree Autistic people are superior because we rarely judge others and we rarely lie.

Yes we do, see WP Politics and News sections

Superior at what? Nobody is superior in the unqualified, absolute sense of the word, not even Superman.

Logic aside, I can relate to the thread title as an emotive reaction to getting bullied, sidelined and ridiculed by ableists. It's been a very long time since I was significantly treated that way, and even when I was, I had a much easier ride than a lot of us have, but turning the tables appeals to me.

I don't think you should try to prove that autistic people are "superior".

If you are autistic, you should find Your field, develop your interest in the real word, study and do something with it.

Talent has nothing to do with megalomaniac ideas.

I agree Dylanperr, that Autistic people don't lie easily. It is a quality but a disadvantage in NTs world. Nobody is superior, everybody has qualities and defaults, strength and weaknesses.

Regarding the judgement, they judge honestly but may miss the NT social cues which may sometimes lead to mistakes.

Politicians and journalists are lying, it is their job.

I don't feel superior. I have quite a lot of ground to make up in terms of life experience. The rate of change has been pretty fast in the last few years, but I have a long way to go.

Regarding toilets, all of my biggest gross-out dreams have involved public toilets. Yuck!

I do, though I don't think I am. I see entire cultures following inconvenient, arbitrary rules when they don't have to. I see people buying newspapers such as this one, the best selling paper in the UK:

As a gut reaction I frequently look upon the behaviour of the masses with disdain. I can't help it.

Yes!

A while ago I was reading an article about autoclaved aerated concrete - which is reputedly very good at blocking noise - and one of the architects was interested in something called "Bau-biologie." Some of it sounded interesting - the quiet, non-smelly parts in particular.

Regarding composting toilets: I've always thought that burning the stuff made more sense. When you compost, you generate CO2 and heat, but the low temperature means that there's no efficient way to capture the energy.

Not only is it hard to generate power with it, but you also have very limited co-generation options. For example, you probably can't distill fresh water with the waste heat. Even if you have sufficiently thermophilic microbes to run a single stage ammonia-water absorption air conditioner, the efficiency will be about half that of a two-stage lithium bromide absorption chiller (which I think needs over 100C).

If you burn the (literal) s**t, you can do all sorts of cool (or hot) things with the energy: paint- and composite-curing ovens, precipitation hardening of structural metals, thermally assisted cracking (refining), commercial baking/cooking, sterilization, etc..

The waste heat from those processes can be fed back into the cycle and used to pre-dry the waste so that it can be ignited.

Also, you can probably break down most drugs, hormones and pathogens, which otherwise end up in wastewater and get dumped into rivers.
