I would imagine most societies would look sort of like Germany or Japan, but the real question is which widespread social norms are directly or indirectly caused by endemic and widespread Neurotypical Disorder, as well as what those social norms would be replaced by

For example, I would expect the attached poster to not exist for various obvious reasons. But how do you think an autistic society would handle the indication of listening/attentiveness?

    Could you please elaborate what you think about Germany in this context? Have you ever been to Germany?

      I only really know what my dad experienced doing safety stuff for BASF. According to him, the German facilities don’t have to idiot-proof their man-killing contraptions, because if there is a sign saying “Do not touch this high-voltage wire” the German workers will follow directions and not touch the high-voltage wire, even if doing so would make their job go faster.

      Also, the fact that germans pay for gas after pumping it was a huge shock to me. I can’t imagine having that much trust in society at large.
