What do you think about the idea that autistic people should have our own state

Interesting idea, but I don't see how it would work. Many autistic people live with ans/or are cared for by allistic people - if you only allow autistic people into this new state, you will be splitting up family units and most autistic people who have established relationships with carers would not want that to change, even if other autistic people in the state were able to take over caring for them.

Perhaps an autism friendly village or town might work? One that allows autistic people and their families.to live there as long as they abide by certain rules? From my point of view, it would be great to live in a place where I knew the neighbours were not going to play loud music or cook smelly foods that force me to have to shut my windows in hot weather, the shops didn't play music or have tannoys, and there were no alarms.or sirens anywhere  (perhaps just flashing lights on emergency vehicles, and any alarm systems in premises had to be silent & linked to the local police station /private security firm) There could be clubs with those silent discos, where everyone wears headphones.

Such an idea would never work in an urban or city environment when one thinks about the concept of the gay village - during the very strange time of Covid lockdown when living in a council flat, we learned just how thin the walls between flats really were with kids in the summer of 2020, as on top of the standard Covid restrictions at the time, the local council also had imposed additional restrictions 

That's basically what I would envision the nation to be like. Of course families wouldn't have to necessarily be split up but allistics would have to be comfortable living in a society designed for autistic people.

Oh dear, you see theres a conflict already, I'd be the one cooking "smelly food", lots of spices and curries. I have to shut my windows in hot weather too because the smell of BBQ's makes me feel sick.
