Spread AS awareness through an ASPERGER-THEMED RESTAURANT!!

Post Reply New Topic

Or a similar GFCF menu?


Appetizer: corn chips and refried beans.

Entrées: The Original AsPerger. (OP said so, so...)

This includes: 30g bun (do they make buckwheat buns??), 1/4 pound processed-chicken patty, 35g tomato, 55g lettuce.


Desserts (please spell dessert with 2 s's!): 100 grams solid fudge maintained at 17 degrees Celsius, +/- 2 degrees due to cold plate hysteresis.

Drinks: 500g Lemonade, with exactly 3 ice cubes with volume 1 cubic inch each.

How about the Meltdown Melt, OCD Orang Juice, Senory Overload Spaghetti,s, oh, I don't know. Meltdown Melt is the only good one I can come up with.

synaesthesia cookies - cookies shaped like numbers and letters, come with icing in different colors and an icing spreader thing so you can paint them to correspond to the way they appear in your mind

People with ASD's and related DX's could be invited to add an obsession-related decoration to one of the walls. For example, I could do a diagram of snake taxonomy with pictures.

Plates would be divided into sections so that different food items would not touch one another. The environment would be pleasing to the senses and designed for stimming.

I think it's a fun idea to play with, if nothing else.

It's possible it could work in a place like Berkeley, CA, or SF, but I think a lot of people would come there seeking some kind of freak show.

Lots of the customers would be there just to laugh at us. But they might learn from the experience too, and there could be signs saying, "Anyone who behaves in a hostile or mocking manner towards people with ASD's, or ASD's in general will be asked to leave." So who knows . . .

...wow you are really anti-NT aren't you Zyborg? If we do Aspie-societies (only; which is what I am assuming you mean), that will open the door for discrimination to happen in our general society and if not that then in our own, hypothetically society. What would you do if an aspie was to fall in love with an NT? Would you tell him/her that that wasn't allowed; kick them out of the community? Or since genetics can be a screwy thing, what if an aspie couple just happened to have a non-AS kid; would you have them give up their kid for adoption; or would you break the assumed exculsively aspie-only society?

On topic: I believe that the restaurant idea is pretty cool. I'd say that for the menu ideas, it'd only be best during AS awareness month; otherwise if it were a restaurant created by those on the AS with workers on the AS that would rock.

I was talking about discrimination within the aspie society of which you speak; but take note that the US tried the "separate-but-equal" thing too and that (i.e: treatment of/ideas of superiority and/or lack thereof) turned out well on the non-affected group. (sarcasm)

Not all NTs discriminate... Many are fighting incredibly hard to advocate for people like us! The biggest load of discrimination I'm hearing is quite clearly from you, Zyborg.

I just lost my will to eat.

No Aspie-themed restaurant can be complete without a "Patty Meltdown" or a "Tuna Meltdown"

No no NO!! ! I asked for 29.48 grams of lettuce, not 29.47 grams! Service SUCKS around here!! !

We could provide sectioned off plates to keep food from touching each other (including separating the burger patty from the bun, etc. etc.), or provide a premixing service for those who wish to eat their meals in a more homogeneous fashion...

Mosse, the scales are accurate to +/- 0.02 grams. Unless you'd like to shell out the $500 it would cost to replace them with more accurate models?

@the "meltdown": We have an ice cream meltdown, a tuna meltdown, and a patty meltdown. Please choose one.
