Who wants to start an autistic micronation with me?

[Catana]

A total waste of time and effort. I think something like it was created a decade or so ago and disappeared.

 

[Progster]

It's always about me, isn't it?

No, sorry to disappoint you, but you don't have the monopoly on this lots of people do it. And since I don't know much about TV or pop culture, there are a lot of references that aren't particularly obscure that 99% of people are going to get, but I don't

I tend to see the opposite.

Failure is opportunity in disguise.
Something was learned, if one failed.
It is for us to discern what, and to move appropriately from the understanding gained.
In that way, nothing is truly a waste of time.
Foible could be used as the harshest descriptor, if the desired result was not gained when, where, and how, you wanted it to be.
Experimentation is not about getting what you want, it's about using what you learn.

Humility is paramount.

Try not to see yourself as affected by the information, but instead, see your perception of the information as affected by your perception itself.

Detachment.
Observation.
Objectivity.

Hi, Catana.

 

[Crossbreed]

Detachment.
Observation.
Objectivity.

Or DOO...!

 

[sidd851]

Or DOO...!

Yeah, the complete list should actually be:

Detachment,
Observation,
Objectivity,
Knowledge,
Inspection,
Evaluation.

Or something like that...

Hi, Catana.

sounds like someone wasn't invited.....

 

[sidd851]

Oh, I can be amazing at self-invitation...

 

[onlything]

You busy?

Already trying to throw your responsibilities on other people, huh?

 

[All-Rounder]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! My friends are going to be isolated ; n ; will leave me alone in a cruel weird world.

I score high enough on the aspie tests, does that make me eligible for acceptance? >o>

 

[Gracey]

I wouldn't fit in.

I believe you would.

Aspie ASD traits would be the norm’

Would anyone give a monkeys’ if the stressed were mute or stimming?

Would anyone make a big fuss or deal for those that don’t understand what’s going on?

It would be expected. Folk might comment if there was none of that going on.

I believe folk would be accepting and helpful rather than critical and judgemental.

(The critical and judgemental can come and see me in my office for corrective training )

 

[Progster]

Yes, this is true - we would have in common that we are all on the spectrum, whoever we are.

 

[Crossbreed]

For example, about 90% of people (my estimation) on the spectrum are really into video games, and I'm not.

I haven't owned a console since the 1980s. Modern controllers are more complex than I care to adapt to.

I've never owned one full stop.

 

[Fridgemagnetman]

I've never owned one full stop.

Full stops are for everybody. You can't own them.

 

[Gracey]

I've never owned one full stop.

Me either, console, not full stop
We’re in that estimated 10%

As delightful as following the whimsical direction of tangent may be,
the topic of this thread is the concept of an autistic micronation.

To quote the OP:
"I thought, "hey, wouldn't it be a great idea if autistic people had their own country."

Future replies will be toward this topic.

I am certain, that, should this micronation become reality, there will be a mechanism in place to "naturalize" those desirables that contribute to the overall wellbeing of the
"Nation".

I have already noted my intent to recommend you, and several other "non-autists", for inclusion in "our" society.

While an exclusive "autists-only" society may sound practical, inviting even,
I think that intent would be a far more pragmatic and useful criteria for inclusion.

When you get settled, come on by for a beer. Wear a jacket(it's cold), and be ready to eat.
See you when you get here.

 

[Judge]

I'd think any "nation" real or imaginary starts off on a wrong foot if it's based on a primary premise of race, religion, ethnic origin, sexual orientation or neurological distinction. Whatever.

On the other hand, a mere village or community, or even a club- not so much.

Otherwise it sends the wrong message like a double-edged sword. One of not only exclusivity and separatism, but also offers the rest of the world a place to simply to dump all their "unwanted" citizens.
