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?

    There’s also the sexual harassment and unacknowledged war crimes that we definitely should not adopt from Japan.

      Oh that stuff absolutely is getting left behind.

      I was more interested in the percieved respect, honesty, integrity (e.g. people not nicking your stuff if you drop something somewhere), generally friendly attitudes, tech innovation, appliance design etc.

        I like those aspects of Japanese culture as well but I think it’s always good to be wary of accidentally romanticising a culture as no country is perfect.

          Yepp, that is true! Nowhere is perfect, and it’s easy to accidentally romanticise a culture especially if it’s fresh and different to what you’re used to
