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.
