WHAT WOULD A REAL ASPIE WORLD BE LIKE?

AND HOW WOULD IT DIFFER FROM THE CURRENT WORLD (NEUROTYPICAL) WE LIVE TODAY?

... For start it would be quite different to say the very least...

There are so many differen't vareations on what a aspie world would be like and I don't think that it would be boring in any way. In fact I think it would be more interesting than just saying it would be good to be around like minded people. I think the kinda systems aspies would come up with for education and for political systems would be incrediable compared to any thing that exists in this world. Because of the way alot of aspies think with a global view. I know i do I keep thinking about all sorts of problems around the world and want to try and help every one.

I think if bars and clubs existed they would be extremely differen't but some how I don't really think they would exist.
I think there would be many rule systems for some things taught to people and prehaps some of them will be misguided. A NT in a aspie would seem slightly interlectually challanged because they would not be able to think about the things we think about and would be considered disabled because they couldn't socialise with any one But then again who knows how a NT would adapt in that situation I don't think I have met any that have been in that situation because there is currently no aspie world to put them in :)

I really wonder what things would be like. I think alot of people would go straight from school to uni most of the time and I wonder if the education system would be differen't and maybe even more flexable.

I think that it would be awesome to be surrounded by other aspies, eventhough I wouldn't know exactly how it would feel if I was surrounded by them all of the time. I think that if I came from a world filled with NT's and had to spend lots of my time secluded because of my social difficulties, I'd have a much better time than being born into a world of aspies (because I'd finally be able to be with people almost exactly like me). People would probably work much more diligently in that world, there would be many obsessions around the world, and overall it would be a cool world to be in. I don't think the world could be the same without NT's because we wouldn't be as rejected by the crowd, and so maybe we'd be more social because more people would be like us, and have many common interests, work ethics, etc. To tell the truth, there are many variables and so it's hard to actually predict of what it would be like to live in a world full of aspies and no NT's; my mom is an NT so I'm not sure what the world would be like without her. Anyways, interesting question to ask.

Sarcastic Name what is your say in this? Do you think life would be hugely convient for you?
Do you feel you would have a more fullfilling life and be proud to be associate with your fellow aspies?

There's a chance I might feel out of place at times, being a huge fan of large crowds and loud and noisy parties/music. And it might be just as hard to find people to talk with, an AS world would be more quiet. And I also have ADD/ADHD, so I don't know if I'd fit in.

I personally think I would at least feel a sense of "belonging". The world would be filled with innovated ideas. Small talks would take a backseat to Intellutucually socializing. I would stop hand-flapping and other nervous stimulus because I would feel in place and not consistently feeling confused all the time. It would feel more like a welcomed place than this current world.

I'd like to be President because contrary to popular belief I'm Rudolph Giuliani. Contrary to popular belief I do not have an ego the size of Manhattan. Contrary to popular belief I don't even have an ego.
