This sounds like an interesting concept similar to the 'LGBTQ nationstate' another user proposed before, although obviously the chances of an autistic nationstate prospering would be better for the reason of, well, birth rates.

I imagine that such a nation, if it existed, would be fairly remote and quiet.  Being an aspie myself, I would certainly feel most at home in a country like this.

I don't know (I'm an aspie).  Aspies are different each other, and there would be no guarantee that we'd get along with each other.  I could see Aspergia as being pretty quiet, but that could get boring.  Even as someone who likes ample time to myself to think, I don't mind having some friends who are more outgoing than myself, as long they're kind and accepting.

Also, managing to function and achieve in the nuerotypical-dominated world makes life more interesting.  (As long as I get time to reflect on those achievements, of course. Tongue)

This is the most autistic idea I've ever heard.

Since autism is a spectrum disorder anyways, wouldn't this just mean that the standards for social interaction are lower, but there still would be a demarcation of social awkwardness within that subset?  I don't think the country would be as different as people might think, and obviously, there is no common ideological thread that would unite people with autism, so you could have everything from Islamic theocrats to anarcho-capitalists, and everything in between.

In my experience* it's that people with autism are prone to have more hardline or unorthodox beliefs, so it would make for some interesting outcomes.

*by "experience" i mean posting on /pol/ and /leftypol/ and sites like Atlas


Where did you get that number?  There's no way there's that big a gender disparity.  Also, trans people are statistically more likely to be autistic.

Exaggerating for effect, but it is still something like a 4.5:1 gender ratio according to wiki
