We have a precedent in Australia: Hutt River Province. They weren't aspies, but they did own a large tract of land and "secede" from Australia and issue their own currency.

I know about that place... it's plenty big enough for a micronation to run Autarky.

Perhaps Canada will sell us enough land at a cheap enough price? A few million should be able to buy us a few dozen square kilometers, it's not worth much at the moment... set up a railway network, along with a sizeable canal for water supply and a telecommunications link (the spine of the country, as it were), and build settlements alongside it; farms can load their grain directly onto the trains for delivery.

Yes, I could develop it into quite a good little micronation...

Maybe Canada isn't the best idea. From my understanding, they're idea of Autism and Asperger's is along the lines of AutSqueaks' thought processes. I wouldn't trust the Canadians to sell Autistic/Aspies land and just leave us be.
I do like your idea with the whole Aspie Academy thing, and it sort of rings true to a story idea I had but have yet to write. Its about a community of Autistics who use their focus to either improve or invent new technologies that everyone else, NT or not, use around the world. By patenting their designs, they become self-sufficient and capable. Sounds a bit like your 'Aspie Academy' idea, Magneto.

Actually I read the YouTube comments. Turning Japanese is slang for the expression you get while self-pleasuring.

TBF, I wouldn't trust America either. But where else is there enough support and low enough land prices, aside from America and Canada? Perhaps Alaska will resist federal misuse of power enough? A coastal strip would do fine...

We wouldn't have to, actually, ya' know, secede. Just set up a functioning state on private land. What could they do to interfere, without breaking their own laws?

Hmmm... the problem is, I could imagine overpopulation becoming an issue, given the small amount of land we'd be having to make do with - you then become vulnerable to nations refusing to sell you stuff.

What can they do? Send social services in.

Get rid of that "no religion" nonsense that I saw earlier. There will certainly be a synagogue there and I will be gabbai, and we will ALWAYS sing Hallel whenever it is recited. There will be a nice kiddush after the service every Shabbat with single malt whisky, pickled herrings, nice cake and possibly cholent and kugel. Pretty certain I can find an aspie minyan. Ari Ne'eman will hopefully leave the USA to join us, for one.

Quite happy for there to also be mosques and churches there too for those who pray that way.

- Official "no sandals" policy in public places, and ideally the shoe shops there simply won't sell them.

- Real music to be played on radio and TV stations. We would invite real bands to come and play live. Not just aspie ones, although Gary Numan and Ladyhawke will of course be invited to be natives.

Count me out then (er, have I already said that?)

I knew that policy wouldn't be popular

Turning Japanese, sung by The Vapors. Just one of many songs obscurely about self-pleasuring.

Others include:
* She Bop by Cyndi Lauper.
* Smack My *** Up by Prodigy
* Dancing With Myself by Billy Idol.

Actually, I've heard Canada is quite a good place for such a venture - by a guy in Canada who PM'ed me on WrongPlanet, saying he's trying to set up an Aspian community on his 1ha farm. His blog's here - http://aspia.wordpress.com/ - be warned English is not his first language.

I'd be willing to help such a project, but I'm more interested in setting up my own nation from my extended family. He. He.

Isn't this place called Silicon Valley?

That is totally true!
It only some NTs could graps that. And vice versa.

Which place?

It seems to me that Tambourine-Man is saying that Silicon Valley is a country. I won't deny that there is a higher rate of autism there.

Just a little joke... I make myself laugh.
