What If Autistic People Took Over The World And Enslaved Neurotypicals

Years ago I saw a post about this on another forum that was pretty much how I'd expect things to be under autist rule:

- Sonic the Hedgehog would be what Mickey Mouse is now.

- There would be no drugs or alcohol, because those are icky and bitter.

- The top 40 music charts would consist solely of the same few repetitive electronic beats, just played at different speeds.

- There would be trains absolutely everywhere, but mostly just to look at, because everyone would get around real fast by running bent over forward at the waist with arms straight out behind them.

There were others too I can't remember, but it sounded accurate enough for me.

would there be a lower crime rate somehow? or would the crime rate be higher?

Autists lack true tard strength, and could never accomplish this alone. Spergs will need the Downies to replace the really low functioning autists, and then they'd realistically turn on and exterminate Downies and Low-Functionings that aren't able to be used as replacement organs or physical labor.

Normies would be used to work jobs that require teamwork and high social interaction, as well as jobs to physical for autists yet too mental for Downies.

It would be like the SuperMutant cult in Fallout New Vegas. It would start out peaceful until some high-functioning autist with a power fetish took control through manipulating the "slow minds".

The movement to takeover would fall apart.

the problem with this is that taking over the world requires significant cooperation with other people and autists generally aren't good at that, and, i would argue, are worse at working together with other autists than they are with neurotypicals

if it somehow did happen, here's my thoughts:
  • society would be much more routine than it is now. public transit in the usa would run like it does in japan: always on schedule, and if it's off by a minute, very apologetic.
  • guys who set off fireworks in the middle of august would get jail time
  • wearing comfortable clothes to work would be cool, and also shirts would be made without tags in them
  • free weighted blanket for everyone
  • reality tv would cease to exist

This is worth a laugh:
https://adayinourshoes.com/ways-the-world-would-be-awesome-if-half-of-everyone-had-autism/

Half of the world would be normal and productive, but the other half would be adult children like Chris-Chan. But that would somehow be fantastic because then the productive half would be better informed and equipped to cater to the Chris half's every need and whim and even be a bit childish themselves.

You know, rather than the child half dragging down the productive half until the normies get tired of tugboating half the population and snap, with predictable results.

This is already the case due to gender.

Autistics are actually 40k proto-psykers manifesting.

Prove me wrong

(And yeah, I can TOTALLY see people like Chris ruling the world. I see no problem with that concept at all....)

honestly I am sick of extremely high functioning autists insisting there's no downside to have autism. this article is written by a mother of an autistic, to be fair, but i'm sure her kid is not doing nothing but screaming all day.
Let’s insert any other description of a person into that phrase. Instead of “half of all people will be autistic….” use: black, Indian, Jewish, Muslim, Hispanic, blind, deaf…doesn’t that seem wrong to you?

saying being black is the same as having a developmental disorder that can cause the individual to be mentally retarded and extremely violent certainly is not offensive in any way at all

It'd be the easiest government to overthrow ever. Just force through any sort of legislation that changes the way the government does their job and they'll all be too busy REEEEEing about change to prevent a coup.

that's the thing about autists, is that sometimes they're right about certain aspects of our social-group-focused society being bad, and sometimes they're extremely wrong, which is why it would actually be bad to let them have power over things

Though I'd imagine there would be multiple channels devoted to documentaries on elevators and trains.

They can't even take over basic maintenance of their own bodies... I don't think they'll take over the world anytime soon. If somehow they were put in charge, I guess they'd quickly not be in charge anymore. How exactly are they going to run anything, wouldn't that require interpersonal interactions and such?

They'd REE before getting overthrown fairly quickly by neurotypical people or by some other neurodivergent group. Autists have trouble recognizing what is considered normal so they would have trouble telling which person is neurotypical. While high functioning autists would have little to no problems telling the difference between someone with low-functioning autism and someone neurotypical, they would have trouble telling the difference between themselves and neurotypicals.

Then you have to consider other neurodivergent people. Psychopaths are not autists, but they are neurodivergent. Would autists confuse them with neurotypical people? Complete psychopaths sure as hell wouldn't have any problems with murdering them on the spot for trying to enslave them. What about neurodivergent people without any diagnosable problems? There are plenty of people like that; just look at some of the child prodigies that have existed.

You can't really enslave people based on a trait if you can't recognize the trait half the time if not all the time. @Dink Smallwood was correct when he said they couldn't do it.
