If most people were autistic, autistic people would be neurotypicals.

Yes, by definition whatever neurotype is typical would be considered neurotypical.

Also applies to a lot of things.
I think it's more of an averages thing.

I once saw a movie review where it showed a world where most people were homosexual and being hetero was seen as "wrong". It was pretty cheesy, but it would be interesting to see a show or movie where most humans are ND, and it's the NTs that get bullied or mistreated for things like making eye contact or not showing intense interests. They might suffer from sensory deprivation because lights and music are too low, and be forced to go to ABA where they're told to stim and if they don't the therapist grabs them by the wrists and forces them to flap. NT Speaks would put up billboards telling you to give real milk to your kids or they'll be neurotypical. and pro-vaxxers will be posting to give your kids their shots so they don't become NT. Or die of preventable diseases.

I think the habit of smalltalk would be heavy critized, especially at work. "If you want to show pictures of your kids or talk about what you did last weekend you can do that in your spare time. People are here to work and wants to focus on that. They don't want to hear about your holiday plans when they take a coffe break. And if you socialize with your coworkers at the pub after work, try to avoid gossipping and shallow small talk. Surely you have some special interest or something that your are passionate about?!"

NTs would struggle to get into relationships. They would be wondering if an autistic person would date them or if they would be too weirded out to do so.

That would be a much better world. If the majority of the population actually had a drop of sense in them, the world wouldn't be this f**ked up.
