I wonder what the world would be like if ASD people were the majority? I think it would be less smelly, less noisy and bright and just more chilled out. I think architecture would be different too, more plants and fresh air, and spaces would arranged with more flow, spaces that could be both private and open when required. Would there be adverts? I think there would but they'd be more information bulletins than aspirational. Education would be in small groups and organised according to your primary sense not the one size fits no one that we have now. There would be chill out spaces for when people get overwhelmed and an oportunity to explore why we find something overwhelming and what could be done to help. Clothes would be of natural fibres and would come with laundry instructions designed to be removed and all seems and hems would be enclosed French ones.
What would your ASD world be like?
What do you think would be different about architecture?
The world would probably be more manageable and calmer for EVERYONE in it but the world needs all sorts of people. It'd be boring with one neurotype. And my quiet places in nature would potentially have more people in them - not something I would like whether they are autistic or not!
