Imagine just for a day if the roles were reversed.

Imagine if you would just for a day if the roles were revered and 99% of people were Aspies or HFA and non-autistics were the minority

I also want to clarify I don't hate NT's and I don't wish anything bad on them, nor do I want a world without NT's. It's just an muse I'm throwing out there.

I wouldn't mind however seeing more aspies in positions of power like the bigwigs over at Enron for instance, that would be interesting.

Hmmm. I think it's hard to imagine the world like that. Certainly, lack of empathy and rigidity would cause serious issues, I guess. Once I wrote somewhere here that an outer entity should keep order in a world of aspies/autistics, like an alien species or robots. If order was ensured, aspies/auties would live happily...

Interesting, but aspies don't "lack" empathy, just lack the means to express it in a way the rest of the world understands.
Imagine a place though where everyone followed the rules, no one was racist or sexist, and no one was out trying to rip anybody off. You have to admit there would be some major advantages

There would be certainly many advantages to it. I only stress that it'd be misleading to assume a world of aspies/autistics would be so much better than the current one. It's enough to show less empathy (I understood it this way), be rigid and have weak social skills to counter the positive effects, like sensory friendly environment and improved understanding between us and "regular" people. I really think we could form a better society in a sense, but this society would require pillars that we alone can not provide. We prefer structured environment, and if someone or something wouldn't make us doing changes, improvements and amendments to it, we would too much stick to our routines, and too much be in our private world, our shells. No one would get the idea that being social actually helps the evolution of competing ideas.
