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!
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.
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.
>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.

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'.
