Eaither, we would be more tolerant of each other, orrrr their would be an all out war about whos's the "better" race of people =\. I mean, look at Israel. Half Jewish and Muslium and they have always been at war wif one another.

That senario suggests a clear division between NT and AS, which there isn't. There's a whole contiuum in the middle.

Its has been said that 40% of all school children have some sort of neurological difference (includes ADHD, ADD, Dyspraxia, dyslexia etc...) and as ASD is a neurological difference, neurologically maybe we will take over one day, the tide seems to be turning!

I also like to think the world differs greatly, as where you at at any given moment the majority are who dictate how we should all act and be, so like last night in an ASD meeting we were the majority, so if any someone arrived without having a neurological addition like us, they would of been the minority :D

Could we then maybe effort the massive amount of care and need for treatment and therapies and medication if half the population were definitely on the spectrum (meaning they're diagnosable)? Would we have schools and workplaces that fit the majority of those on the spectrum?
