Do you think we should have our own country?

--All law-abiding citizens would be required to carry firearms and be trained in their safety and use. It would reduce crime sharply (Only a complete idiot would try to rob, rape, or murder someone who's armed) and ensure that the whole nation is ready to take action at a moment's notice, whether it's against an external or internal threat.

Interesting idea, however I have three main problems with it.
1. An Aspergers or Autistic controlled state would soon collapse as most people on the Autistic spectrum are not suited to any major role in a primary or productive economy (farming, mining or manufacturing). This is not to say we are incompetent, it just tosay that sensory issues and other inconvenient behavioural patterns ensure that we are best of maintaining our attachment to the positive aspects of NT society.

2. All the comparisions to Israel, Autism is closer to a "race" than Judaism as there are links to genetics causing Autism. Judaism, Christianity, Islam and all other religions are more concious decisions to follow said religions
(I am a practising Roman Catholic), I do not remember deciding "oh yes I will be Autistic from now on."

3. There seems to be a lot of people claiming that North America is a prime location for any Autistic state, however the U.S.A. seems to house the vast majority of our persecuters (Autism speaks etc.) closely followed by the U.K. (not entirely sure as I only follow english news services (language not nation), surely Australia would be a better location, we would have large ammounts of natural resources, the local population is largely tolerant so problems with them would be unlikely and plenty of space for those who would prefer isolation.

Jews are not a race. People can and have converted to and from Judaism.

It's like calling Hispanics a race when they only share a language and culture. Anyone of any "race" can be Hispanic.

Type of government: Technocracy with a strong libertarian bent. Among the policies we'd have, there'd be:
--No income or payroll taxes. Sales taxes from the free market will fund the legitimate costs of government.
--All welfare programs would be privatized. Instead of keeping people dependent on the state's golden teat, we'd bring about an Aspie population that doesn't need welfare. (Combined with the national sales tax, as there'd be a monthly rebate on all poverty-level spending.)
--Drugs would be legal, taxed, and the quality and dosages regulated so nobody dies from contamination or overdose.
--Marriage would be abolished. No two people, gay or straight, should have to have a piece of paper saying that they're together.
--All law-abiding citizens would be required to carry firearms and be trained in their safety and use. It would reduce crime sharply (Only a complete idiot would try to rob, rape, or murder someone who's armed) and ensure that the whole nation is ready to take action at a moment's notice, whether it's against an external or internal threat.
--Prostitution would be legal, just like in Holland.
--Censorship of all media would be illegal except for CP. Just like in the U.S., even speech the majority deems wrong would be permitted, because if you silence people who say those things, you're no better than they are.
--Murderers, sex criminals, and war criminals would get the death penalty by guillotine (The guillotine is far more humane than modern forms of execution in terms of speed and accuracy of death), then all records of their existence erased. Thieves and con men would spend time in jail, pay a fine equal to the value of the stolen property, or both. The punishment fits the crime, after all.
--Green energy sources would be used, cutting down our dependence on coal and oil.

I could imagine the various government rooms would have computer terminals in them for communication even in the same room, so that they don't have to communicate verbally to each other. I would not be surprised that the country would probably be very permissive, as some of the special interests of Aspies are either illegal or borderline illegal in most countries and regional unions. Also another reason why the country would probably be very permissive, as Aspies have hard time getting a lover but want to do things that lovers do, but the solution to that is illegal in most areas of the world.

Do you think we should have our own country, and where would you want it? I think we should have our own country. It would be kind of like an Israel, but without any Palestinians trying to take over.

I think a good place for a country would be the area currently occupied by the United States States of New York, New Jersey, Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Maine, along with the Canadian provinces of Ontario, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland and Labrador, and maybe Quebec, though that might be spun off into its own country. The capital would be Ottawa as that is a pre made national capital, is its Canada's national capital. The country would throw out undesirables, except NT government workers who are against us and other serious threats against us, we would send them to Siberia under contract with the Russians. We could have NTs in our country that are not against us, as there are people like that in the area.

It would be interesting to have our own country, because our country would be so different for any other country. The roads would probably be interesting, as the choices Aspies have in vehicles is wide ranging, which would mean there would be a wide range of vehicles on the roads, and the government rules would allow the import of any vehicle from any where in the world. It the country was like that, the auto plants would probably be full of hand made cars, as mass production would not allow the economical production of limited numbers of the same vehicle, and also replacement headlamp assemblies for cars from countries that drive on the left, as the factory lights would be backwards. It would be interesting if the replicas of '60s, '70s and '80s cars made in that country would be better quality than the originals, as one of the traits of AS is attention to detail.

I certainly would not want to be limited to communicating by computer.....I do like to have verbal conversations, sure I don't have the best social skills but not talking and just typing to communicate would drive me insane.

Most neurotypicals say that when it comes to manufacturing autistic people are too slow.

In comparison to whom? There is probably some union labor that is slower than autistic people in manufacturing.

I got a simple response: androbot is lying.
