What decade had the most 'aspie-ish' style?

IMO the 80s did. especially New Wave and the keyboard bands, there's something so Aspie about it imo!! !

the 2000s and 2010s seem very NT, all about fitting in and stuff and being conventional.

What decade had the most Madras pants and was that the most Aspish decade?

As I look back I would agree with the 80's for music, but the IT revolution in the 90's, made the workplace, a more advantageous place for people with Aspergers. Now everyone uses computers and the advantage is no longer as clear.

I wouldn't want to be young and have Aspergers now, so many more expectations these days that any difference makes the world a very difficult place to navigate.

I'm really glad I was born in the 60's things moved so much slower, and it was interesting to watch technology gradually move faster, and to be able to adapt in a gradual way. Now it is just full speed ahead. So much going on.

The 80's were good, because differences in general, became better accepted than they were in previous decades.

Our culture is so complex now it's hard to tell where it begins and ends. When I was growing up a person could wrap their arms around it; know every popular song, every vehicle by sight, every popular TV show, every popular movie that came to the big screen, the few important news events; Everything had a distinct original content. Today there are no clear edges. It all blends in together.

And all the recorded digital content allows a person to select any era of time and enjoy the content that was available then. But, in general people aren't on the same page to the degree that they were a few decades back.

I know that growing up in the 90's was the best thing that happened to me.

I'll have to go with 2020 through 2030. By 2020 Aspies will have completed their quest for world domination and they will set all of the social standards.

The 60's because the hippies were so odd and non-conformist,

Every decade is an Aspie decade

I would say the 1940s because of the understated fashions and androgynous looks. The 1930s too.

Also the 1960s because of the quirky and individualistic clothing and new and interesting ideas.

I would say the 1960s.

The way I see, two decades were equally aspie-ish: the 60's and 80's. The 60's were aspie-ish for the sole fact that Star Trek first aired in 1966 (lots of aspies can relate to Star Trek for lots of reasons). The 80's were aspie-ish because of the rise of the video game industry (back when everything video-game related was "only for geeks/nerds/socially-awkward outsiders" and the NT's knew these games and systems simply as "Nintendo").

I'd have to say the 60s and the 80s. Unisex clothes were first on the market in the 60s and the Space Age was going on. Personal computers were becoming more common in the 80s, and the first video games were on the market. Clothes were still pretty much unisex.

A billion years ago, before the dark times. Before humanity and other complex life forms, but still long enough after the earth's violent beginning to have a stable environment.
