The code of Aspergia:

Thau shalt always be logical and rational.

Thau shalt not participate in small talk.

Thau shalt maintain a routine.

I'm sure I could think of more...

I don't think that'd be the case.

Thou shalt not interrupt the Grok of Special Interest.
Ye shall shun those who use Cellphones, Twitter, Facebook and other social media.
100 lashes to ye who interrupts another.

Hmm, so I guess the primary means for many autistic people to socialize are to be ruled out entirely? Exciting.

Ah, well, I don't mind being shunned from the Aspie nation.

By the way, this forum is social media. It also makes use of twitter, and Alex's cell phone contact (via google) is at the bottom of every page.

Be a nerd, but not an in-your-face, boasting nerd.

Isn't a hundred lashes a bit drastic?

Illogical, maybe.

I was actually thinking about this the other day. I have this crazy idea that humanity is going to start splitting off into separate sub-species, each with their own individual skill sets and talents that compliment the whole of humanity. Eventually, wars will start between the 2+ species.

Limiting the amount of social interaction so severely could worsen symptoms, I believe. I see virtual socializing as a viable alternative to RL socializing for Aspies.
