Is this serious??
Not keen on autistic separatism. I'm a citizen of the universe.
Hi Cassandro the citizen of the Universe.
1) I am not a separatist, but a sovereignist.
2) I am citizen of Japan!
Then You may be interested in Committees for Preparation of Aspergers' Independence.
Committees is a party the principle of which is the Equal sovereignty of Aspergers, ADHDs and Native Neurotypicals.
The aim of Committees is to settle into Kohchi and set up colonial cities that unites the Asperger- and ADHD-settlers with the native non autistic people.
We can already do anything we want, at least here in the UK we can but I wouldn’t be doing what I want if it wasn’t for the help of non autistic people so a place without non autistic people might not work so well for me.

To discuss about the substantiality of the State, I think we must talk about the necessary condition of a State-sovereignity.In my opinion, Sovereignty is the Presence and the Function of the System and Process of 國家主權 (The State Sovereignty) or 國權(The Sovereign Rights of the State).
For example, if you initiate a Protection Act of Unicorns in the Kohchi's parliament of Autismland & if it passes & if the policy of unicorn protection is implemented in Kohchi, financed by the taxes you paied as the subject of the Kingdom of Autismland,then we can say
>the idea of 'countries', or rather 'nation states' >'sovereignty' or 'monarchy'
of Autismland is
>real
in Kohchi. and if not, it is
In other words, the reality of the sovereign state is the "working control".
Writing as a citizen of the universe, can I change the subject to my trouble getting the idea of 'countries', or rather 'nation states'? I can understand a reference to a big patch of countryside, and I can also parse words like 'Britain' or 'EU' from sentences, just as I can read and manipulate 'unicorn' or 'boggart'. But, and it may be my alexithymia, I don't understand why people talk about things like that so much; if they weren't talked about it seems there wouldn't be anything to talk about.. I just can't care about unreal things or take them seriously.
The same with 'sovereignty' or 'monarchy'. It reminds me a of a bit from early on in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy:
This planet has - or rather had - a problem, which was this: most of the people living on it were unhappy for pretty much of the time. Many solutions were suggested for this problem, but most of these were largely concerned with the movement of small green pieces of paper, which was odd because on the whole it wasn't the small green pieces of paper that were unhappy.
I also notice it during the World Cup. Does anyone else get this?
(Edit: John Lennon sang 'Imagine there's no countries / It isn't hard to do'. It used to strike me as an understatement: it doesn't take an imagination at all. It's imagining there are which is hard.)
>choice
Over my dead body! We want is no one else but Him.
>the only way
Negative. There is no such thing as "only way". We can do anything, and it means anything. Nothing is impossible, and we can find many ways to cope with mass jobs losses from robots and automation.
Furthermore, robotization and automation is most advanced in Japan, and the Japanese unemployment rate is one of the lowest of the advanced world anyway.
I need successful examples to support this idea. What do you mean "isn't necessarily that radical"?
PS:
>How would your 'welfarism' work?
Autismland's strategy to inherit the British model of welfare state.
en.wikipedia.org/.../Welfare_state_in_the_United_Kingdom
Naturalization in Japan is very strict. Even if you settle into Kohchi (We will welcome you), you won't have right to vote.We must find counterpart of Kohchi in the Commonwealth.
Someone from 4chan proposed Norfolk Island (2011 population - 2,169) as a choice, but it can not be a choice in my opinion.There we will not be able to set up a city to form our capital, and our aim is not a small-island-micronation, but to found a sovereign monarchy that unites world's 100 million Aspergers.
We need cities which is big and developed enough to be utilized for capital-forming, but small enough to be possible for us to take over it.
Ideas?
A separate country to me is still what I mean by 'separatism'.

The "Hans Asperger complied with the ***" claim is heavily politically biased - here's why.

Interesting opinion in the link, but just an opinion. I don't think see why Czech's research is any more biased than any other simplification of working in the 'grey zone'. Steve Silberman seems to accept it. I don't however think we necessarily need to stop using a recognised term (we still refer to Hugo Boss or Fanta despite strong associations with the Nazi party).
Whoever you had as head of state, president or monarch, or even head of a would society needs to command the vast majority of trust and support, and anything to do with a psychiatrist, let alone Asperger, seems a very odd choice to me.
Kokujoh Sayaka, World Aspergers' Organization said:Since we are reformist and not revolutionist, so we are not actually very positive about radically and totally new Social Experiments like Basic Income...We like to base on existing know-hows and institutes.
Basic Income isn't necessarily that radical, and it's looking like it may be the only way to cope with mass jobs losses from robots and automation. There was a costed plan in Green Party policy here that's basically a simplification of income tax. It is being tried in various countries around the world. How would your 'welfarism' work?
I think an autistic city or state would be much more of a 'totally new social experiment'.
Thank you so much for explaining everything!
I really like the idea!
But how about the immigration rules in Japan?
Would people from all over the world be able to move to Japan to live over there permanently and be residents?
Or only the citizens from specific countries can move to live over there?
>How could we have our own country without being separate from typically developing people?
Our idea is, step by step,
1) settle in rural cities (in the Japanese case, Kohchi), to get the majority in the regional parliament. (The city budget of Kohchi is about 150 billion Yen)
2) Using the city budget create jobs for the Aspergers all over the country
3) Settle into Kohchi, setting up there a city which are populated by we, to make possible the formulation of our economy, our culture, our society and our capital.
Kohchi city : en.wikipedia.org/.../Kōchi
4) Then we, based on the capital we formed in Kohchi, we can take real steps for our real sovereignty.
How? Anyhow. For example, we could create artificial islands on the Over the Pacific Ocean like Japan and China do. You know, Or, we all know that Japan has the world's most advanced technology of megafloat-building. Although these are just ideas, but you know if we have our own economy and capital, that makes us almost almighty. We could do anything we want.

I am glad to hear it :)

Hm... We could try it later, when we already have a developed and rich state. Since we are reformist and not revolutionist, so we are not actually very positive about radically and totally new Social Experiments like Basic Income...We like to base on existing know-hows and institutes.
Pleased to meet you.
There are 'autistic spaces' (like Autscape and Autreat) where autistic people govern their own affairs. But these are only intended to be temporary and depend on wider society.
How could we have our own country without being separate from typically developing people?
PS: many people here in UK, autistic adults and parents, have appreciated the two books by Naoki Higashida that have been translated so far.
PPS: Have you heard the recent discoveries about Hans Asperger? He sent autistic children to be killed, it seems knowingly: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/apr/19/hans-asperger-aided-and-supported-nazi-programme-study-says
PPPS: I would support 'welfare' in the form of Universal Basic Income - it would enable autistic people to pursue their own interests and contribute to the universe in their own way.
