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?
I wonder who would take care of the "spicy" ASD that cannot take care of themselves or do any meaningful job. Many autistics forget that about 50% of us have IQ around 80 and severe comorbidities.
