That's why we move to one that's already had fibre-optic rolled out to it as part of a government pilot scheme 8)

As for the others, I imagine it wouldn't make much difference.

A national Autist party could hope to gain, perhaps, a fraction of a percent of the votes - enough to elect a single MP, yes, but not when your support is distributed widely and you have a none-PR system. Regionally, however, it might work if you could get the concentration of voters. Say, town level, if Autists were ever to get enough of us in one place. Which is, actually, quite plausible... a small town with a population in the low hundreds could be dominated by Autists quite easily. I'm not sure they'd be able to be much use, though - in America, perhaps, where town councils have more power, but not here.

Do you have any idea what a large concentration of ASD individuals moving into one town would to traffic tickets and accidents, local ISP server and cell phone connection speeds, and mental health related calls to the police and ER visits? :lol:


A lot less when we cut out the ones who are constantly self-pitying and wouldn't undertake such a thing anyways.
