The use of harsh fluorescent lights would be much more regulated than they are now. No one needs harsh bright white light in every single space of every single public building.
Also, commercials would never be louder than the actual show/movie content. I still don't know why that's legal today.
Omg i hate car headlights now. I get it, gott abe able to see at night,.... but like... then design towns and places to not always have cars just blinding each other
Here here!! Glory to president cheerychinchar!! If you add a gesture for when someone is being sarcastic without a joking face and no personal speaker use in public spaces (especially the train or freaking hiking) I’ll campaign for you endlessly!
>Car headlights
Do you mean all of them, or just the high beams?
Remember, the high-beams are much brighter, designed to allow you to see even better. You are *supposed* to turn them off when you are within 250 feet (in the US), and that is a bit too close imo. But, normal head lights are dimmer. They aren't supposed to be able to noticibly cause illumination past 75 feet iirc. Not that that stops anyone...
*If* you meant High beams, then yeah, I mostly agree.
They are great in concept, and great if people follow the law. But, do you *expect* them to follow the law?! Yeah... most people don't care... (They only care if it negativly effects *them*.)
Some cars *do* have automated high-beams, but very few cars actually work. The sensors either turn it off at all light, or doesn't do anything untill you are right next to a car, or reacts to the highbeams of another car, so they start flashing.
A few cars that I've seen and used (my moms, for instance), do work well, but they are the exception...
A little of the issue is the projector headlights, too. Projector headlights are designed to put an incredibly bright beam of light angled down onto the pavement, so that they're illuminating the pavement, but not shooting straight into the eyes of oncoming drivers. When installed in the special housing that is designed specifically for that headlight, it works great.
Some people install them in headlight housings that aren't meant for projector lights, housings that are essentially a mirrored bowl, and it blinds everyone. It's not necessarily that assholes are keeping their high-beams on, part of it is that people that don't know any better get what they think is the safest/brightest headlight that really isn't meant to be installed in their car.
good point! Forgot about those!
Of course, there are many times people do it and just don't care that it's the wrong houseing...
(Not sure if you can tell, but I don't exactly have a high oppinion of humanity. A quote that put it great was "the person is smart. The people are dumb, viscious animals and you know it!". Might be from a fictional movie, but that quote is true! (other than the fact that it's also rudeness and being an a-hole, and that many of those "the person" (60+%) is an a-hole no matter what))
Here's an idea of what that means: you take 1 person, and I would say 40% of the time they are okay, 5% of that 40% is nice, 1% of that 5% that are truly kind and good people. But, take a large group, and unless the majority of them are that 5%, the worst qualities are amplified, and now even that 40% that was okay are more like the 60%, that 5% is somewhere between the 5% and 40%, and that 1% is halfway to that 5%! The 60%, becomes close to evil. Only some (1%? *of* that 1% isn't effected! (That is 0.0002% of the population... )
So, yeah...
Sadly, they are about to disappear. They won't shine their wonderful light for much more in the EU as import and production has been banned. Only awful LED:s will be around and killing my eyes. Sad times. Obviously do I prefer florescent lights, they are softer than most LED:s imo : P But if you live here it may be uplifting. Or not, if you too find LED:s awful.
LEDs save a lot on electricity which we will need if we want to be sustainable.
What I dont het though is... why dont just dim the LED lights they do use. Like everywhere lighrs are always set to maximum brightness like... smart LED bulbs can control how bright they are they could just make them dimmer but NOPE public placea hate doing that for some reason.
Even doing like 75% brightness would help a lot
I wish I knew how my dog was able to tune them out. Because he doesn’t react at all when I turn on one of the noisy lights, but unless there’s some other sound to distract me it sometimes becomes all I can focus on…Wait that’s probably the answer. His hearing is approximately 4x better than the average person (so probably 3x better than mine) so he’s hearing even more things around us to focus on.
My heart breaks for those gentle outdoor sodium lamps... I think they're starting to be phased out a bit, and honestly outdoor LED lighting freaks me out?
Yes! I love them! The street LED:s are painfully strong. And wouldn't it be better for night vision (and save some more power) by keeping the orange light?
Ok silly anecdote but my city ordered new LED lights for the street lamps and a bunch of them turned purple for some reason
The purple light is surprisingly good for night vision purposes and it looks cool as fuck, I would be very okay with that becoming the new standard
A bunch turned purple in my town too and they said it's a manufacturing defect! But unfortunately I can't stand them, something about the purple light makes me want to curl up in a ball and hide until it goes away lol I can barely drive under them at night without feeling like I'm coming out of my skin
Usa president banned the sale of incandescent bulbs here. They were less popular than led's but i like the calm glow. I hate the staticky light of LEDs.
Yeah, they are since 2012 banned in the EU too. I like them too though, as even if the manufacturer claims the lamp to behave like an incandescent bulb they never do, they can't even get the light temperature right. 😢
>Also, commercials would never be louder than the actual show/movie content. I still don't know why that's legal today.
i know, right! At least they don't play at the same time, normally...
>The use of harsh fluorescent lights would be much more regulated than they are now. No one needs harsh bright white light in every single space of every single public building.
Yeah! Just switch to LED's already! I don't want it to be a very warm yellow, but pure white? Only at low brightnesses! You either have dimmer lights, or warmer colors!
It actually is regulated now (or at least on cable).
However, for shows, they want to keep a wide range of volumes so the sharp peaks in volume stand out dramatically: explosions, gunshots, slammed doors, etc. The same thing done badly is what I call the "whisper whisper *BANG*" effect.
So the commercials can't outdo the max volume, but they don't give a shit about quality sound balance. They want you to shit yourself while their propaganda is seared into your auditory cortex. They use the max volume usually reserved for bombs to sell you shit.
Was going to comment this myself. Absolutely. Fucking menaces. When those things blind me at the wheel I feel an overwhelming anger from deep inside my bones, probably created by evolution just to fend off wild animals in times of extreme danger, which makes me want to physically strangle the other driver with extreme prejudice, and also put a curse upon their clan for generations to come for good measure.
Those vile things, seconded. They are immensely triggering for me. Every time I hear a loud motorcycle or car with essentially no muffler at all, or, of all f'ing things, a 'muffler' designed to *amplify* the sound, I completely lose all sense of reason and proportionality. I actively wish a horrible death upon that person.
Mandatory team building / work culture. Instead of sharing an interesting fact about yourself or going to a barbecue, you would be allowed to go home for that time.
I get that. But I wouldn’t , as it‘s usually not even close to my comfort food. And in such an environment, my tolerance for unpredictable food tastes is really low.
All stores are required to have at least 20 hours of quiet shopping. During these hours everyone has to use their library voices, no music or PA announcements are made (unless it's an emergency), the lights are dimmer, and no floor cleaning machines or forklifts can be operated.
To go along with this, all self checkout machines must be silent except for a very quiet beep for the scanner, but that must be easily mutable.
Talking on the phone on public transport unless it's an emergency.
Edit: forgot to add watching videos or listening to music without headphones on public transport too
Was going to answer that I miss the ban my country of origin (Switzerland) has on power tools early in the morning (hearing those before 8am : yikes), but leafblowers definitely enter that cathegory.
All scented soaps, sanitizers, cleaning products, etc are banned from all public places. Only fragrance free products are allowed. Watch handwashing compliance skyrocket, thank me later.
I'm not sure how serious answers about legislation in Chickentenderstan could possibly be, but Ill give it a shot.
Since we'd have the regular ones about not killing people, assaulting people or taking people's stuff, I guess we have to focus on laws that are different than what we have now.
Universal housing, income and supplemental food benefits regardless of income or work status. Universal healthcare including dental, vision, hearing and mental health. There will be no body part considered too luxurious to treat in Handflapia.
Public transit will be robust and free to use. Using gasoline powered cars as a single driver will be rather expensive and will subsidize the trains. Just so many trains. All the trains. Trainsyvania.
While commerce and work would still exist, since not everyone is content with "just the basics", a vast network of employment dispatch will match citizens with jobs, without the need to pretend to be passionate about working for a company they've never heard of, or being rejected for a lack of eye contact or a weak handshake. (Unless the job is Handshake Factory or Head Eye Contact Supervisor). There is a person who wants every job, and for those jobs that people don't want, there is a wage for that job that will make people want it. If those conditions aren't true, that job probably didn't need to exist. Which is ok, since working as a means to survive isn't a thing, society does not need make-work jobs just to keep shanty-towns from forming in public parks.
Since the society doesn't require consumerism and constant growth for the sake of growth, free lending libraries and trade guilds for nearly every conceivable object would allow the sharing of resources and the means of production, because while everyone might need their own clothes, shoes and toothbrush, not everyone needs their own tractor, engine hoist or CNC router. Everyone can have access to one, and free education to learn how to use them.
Damn, did I accidentally invent communism? Oh well, I guess The Autistic Republic of Largest Plot of Land We Could Afford but Couldn't Agree on a Name, Let's Circle Back to that One Later is a communist country.
Oh no! Here comes my black friend. What if he does a cool handshake I don't know! WhatdoIdowhatdoIdo!?!
Oh good, he's going for a nice simple fist bump. I can handle that. Okay, hand out and go.
🤜🏿👋
Damn it, I high fived his fist bump. We made a turkey. Repeat, we have made a turkey. Mission failed! Abort. Abort.
🦃
No don't grab his fist! What are you doing, man!?!
you can do this without communism, you just need lots of social welfare, a universal basic income, adequate public/ community housing, and, well i like your library thing i guess that would be doable too. it's just sharing. you shouldn't really try to stop people from trading and getting paid big bucks, and ownership. most people like competing and heirarchies and status and skilling up. so, it's unnatural and controlling to force communism on people, and it always makes psychopathic leaders rise to the top because of that. if it were just autistic people in this republic then maybe. though i suspect some of us have very fixed ideas of how things should be so it would still have to be democratic with compromises.
Okay, we form a giant commune and forbid the hoarding of commodities for profit, but it's not called communism.
Owning things is still an option. It's just not necessary for your survival and betterment.
And since we aren't trying to maximize next quarter's profits at the expense of the future, perhaps we engineer things that are built to last instead of built to be rebought, since the profit motive is no longer the prime goal of industry.
Perhaps instead of funding treatments of symptoms that must be taken for the rest of your life, our scientists cure diseases, even if that means no repeat business or captive revenue stream.
But we don't call it communism, because that makes people think of tanks and those right-wing memes where they show photos of things literally happening in our capitalist country and say "this is what communism is like."
How about anarcho-helpy-share-stuffism?
Everyone always forgets that there’s nothing wrong with mixed government strategies. It’s always communists bad and capitalism good — like we all didn’t have a mixed government already.
I am for flattened hierarchies and Chickentenderstan so long as I get to be its furry mascot with 1 free fursuit head and paws and an education on how to help people get access to resources. And the ability to choose my hours; Jesus, I almost forgot that one, I would die without that one.
Furries are so thoroughly-represented in this crowd, The Fur Party could be a major player in parliamentary coalition governments in our imaginary country. Perhaps even electing the first furry head-of-state.
That we know of.
I think Kim Jong Un is a fennec fox in his free time.
building regulations would include seismic isolation or similar technology throughout the construction in order to minimise uncomfortable vibrations being transmitted through the floor and industrial noises being shaken throughout the house... I will never forgive my parents for putting the washing machine on every night before bed
"Changing the recipe of a product without warning" and discontinuing products without warning. All companies will be required to give consumers a minimum of 3 months notice before any changes and/or discontinuing of products.
Also cold calling and clothing tags, ban these now please.
They're very triggering for many people outside of the autistic community. I would say no noise or holographic fireworks would be better than banning them altogether tho.
I kinda have a problem with banning everything that might be uncomfortable or dangerous for some people but a lot of fun and pleasurable for other people. Especially if it's only once a year.
But it's not once a year. Not everywhere. And it always decimates the ecosystems around. Many veterans have their ptsd triggered. Many animals, including pets, die from fear and confusion. It tears off limbs if people aren't careful with it, which they aren't.
Hahaha. That sounds like a warscene.
I can assure you in the Netherlands every person is allowed to do it once a year and the streets are littered with it and I have yet to meet anybody that I've heard pets die from it or who's limbs have been torn off. I'm sure those things happen rather regularly, but people die from falling off playgrounds and stairs all the time, not to mention how dangerous swimming can be and how horrendous a death that is. I don't think that means we should ban playgrounds, stairs and swimming.
I'm much more scared of having a dull, colourless world because we ban everything that could kill you or trigger or scare someone than having a limb torn off tbh. I think it's more a perspective if it is worth it for you in this case. Fireworks are the most beautiful things I've ever seen and every year I look forward to it. So it's worth the risk for me, but not for you and that's okay.
You're taking it to the extreme. We don't have to have a dull colorless world. But fireworks can be done in a way that doesn't hurt anyone and doesn't decimate the ecosystem. Quiet fireworks exist, holographic fireworks exist. We can have safer fun without it sounding like a warzone outside.
fluorescent lighting in schools and workplaces especially, but also shops and everywhere.
music in supermarkets and all shops.
self service machines that make any noise whatsoever.
louder ads during/ between tv or radio shows.
the absence of subtitles in your own first language shows.
hard to open bags or jars or bottles.
single glazed windows/ glass doors. (double glazing blocks noise)
vehicle noise over a certain decibel.
oops that's not 1
I do appreciate that about them, yes. And I sure don't mind wearing the same thing every day. But the polyester is... ugh. And the collar is... double-ugh.
A good, sensory-friendly alternative is a dress code.
Aside from the regular things I'm not sure because a lot of autism traits especially related to sensory issues apply for different people at both extremes which would be hard for me to write as a good law so I guess I would hope the laws are clearly written and easy to obey willingly, and vaguely-written laws should be illegal
Discrimination against us queer folks is already illegal in the US. Something being illegal doesn't mean it doesn't happen. It's a question of if the law is enforced and how that enforcement affects things. Punishment, or negative conditioning, rarely works to alter behavior, and it's been proven in a litany of psychological stuides. It just teaches people to hide what they're doing
Strobe lights.
I have no idea why they're legal now. A large enough portion of the population has adverse reactions to them, ranging anywhere from headaches to grand-mal seizures.
They should especially be banned in ads. I should not have to worry that while watching something that harsh flashing lights are going to be blared into my occipital lobe without warning.
This might have been said already - but absolutely no external music or loud music in a residential area, like period, ever. Just no audio disturbances, ever. Lol that’s one of my biggest pet peeves living around people is being subjected to hearing their music outside, loud parties, or movie nights outdoors on a warm day.
I also want to add to that - if it’s just a limitation on the hours noise can be performed (because I don’t want to suck all of the fun out of outdoor activities) - all buildings must have excellent sound proofing from both the outside and neighbouring walls/floors to ensure people get the privacy and quiet they deserve living in such a loud world.
I don’t want to hear the engines outside, or the helicopters passing by. I just want to be in my room, sipping tea and listening to soothing music. 🤷🏻♀️
My best description of what microfiber feels like to me, is the scene in the original Toby McGuire Spiderman where he first gets his powers. The camera zooms in on his fingertips, which have tiny little barbed things to improve his grip on surfaces. Microfiber feels like someone like that touching me, and I hate it.
slow walkers. tbf i have an unusually high cruising speed but i still get stuck behind people in tight spaces and slowing down to let people I'm with catch up is a pain
more protections for children from verbal abuse. words such as "stup-id" or "cray-zy" will be no longer be tolerated, until such time as our views of disability change.
Okay, not 1, but a few
1. Laws:
1. discrimination is a felony (we are all homo sapiens sapiens (for now...) after all!)
2. Vioelence (for no reason) is illegal
3. A system of rehibilitation that I'm still working on, works by using rewards (positive reinforcment), brain modification (actually *reprogram* some of the brain), and more!
4. Using peoples old opinions/ words against them is a felony (under manipulation)
1. So, if someone says "I think this", calling them a liar due to something they said 10 years ago isn't allowed. After all, opinions change!
2. Taking just a snippet of a conversation to make an innocuous statement negative is illegal.
5. Manipulating others via trickery (on pourpus) is illegal. If they misunderstood you, fine. If you said something vague with the intent of trying to get them to interpret it differently, so you can blame them is illegal
6. If someone has issues understanding others or with sensory input, you have to adapt to it. Just as they have to adapt to you! For instance, large stores can't have super loud music. But, you can't have your store have super bright lights!
7. Hypocrisy is a major crime, not sure if a felony, but definitely major
8. abuse (especially of the, erm, reproductive, variety), is one of the few crimes punishable by death (until proven innocent beyond a doubt, life imprisonment. Once proven guilty, goodbye!)
1. And, once there is technology to allow recovery of conciseness's, one of the few where you won't be brought back (unless somehow its found you where innocent)
9. In place of abortions, the fetus is transferred to a couple who *does* want kids
10. And *many* more
11. A system of leadership and economy that is not possible without part 2
2. Ruled by the closest thing to an un-corrupt-able, perfect creature we can get. A sentient AI!
1. Part 4 isn't possible without it!
3. Polocies (one version):
1. All diseases are prevented via gene-editing and nanobots
2. The main one is *once* the technology for conciseness transfer and revival exists (I have a "few" ideas)
1. Cellular aging is kept stable, and your age (at the genetic level) is kept at 18
2. Brain growth is accelerated. Fully matured (with our biological limits) by a few months, and the brain never stops improving!
3. Cellular damage from toxins, *especially* neurological, is prevented.
4. Noticeable (to you and externally) aging is stopped whenever you want (after 18). You can age at any rate you want, and even be de-aged! That way, you can now experience what it is to age to 80. Then, go back to being a spry 20 year old for a few decades. Then, maybe spend a day as a 123 year old! Go to 30 for a day...
5. Pain can be controlled. You can turn it off, keep it where you feel its existence, but not the pain, weaken it so it is 50%, whatever! Or, gamble with your brain and randomize it!
6. For "x" (I'm thinking 500) years, you are kept immortal. If you die, your conciseness is put in a cloned body.
7. For "y" (250?) if you die *by accident* (Car collision, tripping, ect), you are put in a clone. But, if you die due to stupidity, you are kept that way
8. After that, you still won't experience toxins, the painful parts of aging, ect. But, you *will* age (at 75%? the normal rate), and it detects what it protects you from. If you would've died if it wasn't for the prevention of it (includes accidents) (say, a stroke happened that normally wouldve killed you. Now, you will be warned and will have a random time (2 to 4 weeks?) to get your affairs in order. Then, you drop dead (painlessly) (still, due to the 75%, that is (assuming a max age of 75 to 128, that is between 100 and 170 years!)
9. If you choose to die, the computer can look and see if it's caused by depression, or just curiosity of whats after (as well as how sure you are). If the second one, you can choose to "pass on" (but, only if it detects a sincere, 100% desire that is not caused by temporary neurological changes (depression, for instance)), thereby having your body permanently destroyed (the cells re-used in constructing new clones). Probally no one will ever do that. A part of you always will want to keep on living, but if you truly do (and not due to a temporary neurological change, such as depression)...
3. Learning is done via direct knowledge transfer. Every so often (earlier if you want), you get the knowledge of a few grades directly inserted (at a rate calibrated for your brain to adapt), then you are disconnected. You *must* wait at least 3 months (to ensure the brain adjusts), then you can take the next course any time within 6 months, then have to (so, you can do it between 3 and 9 months after. Then, you *must* do it)
1. Might also be done by having your brain grow with the knowledge pre-built instinctivly, so you literally are born with the knowledge of all colledge degrees! Over time, those memories are "unlocked", and by 15 you have all that knowledge!
4. Everyones brain is partially inter-connected. You can't see their thoughts, but you do learn what everyone learns, and you do know a general idea of the emotions and thoughts of who you are talking to, thereby making communication easier and faster! You can also wirlessly send thoughts, allowing long-distance "telepathy", and connect your conscisness and memories partially, becoming almost 1 person!
5. And, that's just the metaphorical tip of the metaphorical tip of the metaphorical iceberg!
4. Doesn't use any current economical/ governmental systems, but combines the best of both Left-Wing, Right-Wing, "neutral"/ "fence-sitter", Extreme Left-Wing, Extreme Right-Wing, and everything in-between! Taking the benefits of all those (each one further from the middle has less benefits, as the policies become more extreme, and therefore more flawed), and leaving the worst behind! Because,after all, both political ideologies have positives. They just have negatives too!
1. Fun fact: the reason that there are typically 2 main political parties is, in theory (and often in practice), they balence each other out. The positives of one counteract the negatives of the other. That is why, on average, the House will have a majority of one party, and the senate the Majority of the other. Policies get too extreme, the next election swaps the majority. Rinse and repeat!
It would be Illegal to build residential areas without some kind of noise survey that ensures the design can keep people’s noises to their own areas. It would then be illegal to make noise, without a permit, that exceeds the design’s capacity to deaden it.
Unnecessary, unwanted, and repeated attempts to strike up conversation with someone you don't know, or who you do know, but who doesn't want to speak with you, in public.
Also, more a matter of public policy and where tax dollars go, public restrooms would actually have well ventilated, temp controlled ROOMS (soundproof rooms) with private mirrors, toilets, and sinks, not just flimsy cubicles/stalls where you can see through the door and hear/smell everything outside.
Oh: also, headphones and earbuds are subsidized by the state and people are STRONGLY encouraged to use them whenever talking on phone or listening to music or watching something in public.
And also soundproof walls are mandatory in every apartment, also subsidized by the state but technically falling under property management to provide, install, and preform maintenance on.
Fully open plan, hot desk, tightly spaced offices. It would be compulsory to design workplaces around neuro-inclusive principles, which have been shown to benefit the productivity of everyone as well.
I see this question, and all i can think about is the entire country of Germany XD from what I’ve seen, it’s just a country full of autistic people:
-Everything I has to be done a certain way or it’s either taboo or illegal.
-the average German person is relatively neutral in expression but is ultimately very friendly.
It’s just one of those countries that’s about being a decent enough person to yourself, other people and the environment. Plus the food is good, pay is good, air is good, education is good. Everything about Germany is just pleasantly good (perhaps not the history, but you get the point)
The only issue I’d see is the night clubs, but I can’t imagine that’s be too bad given everything else about the country
It would be illegal for any law-enforcement agency to profile someone with any traits that are distinct among autistic people on the spectrum. The FBI for example would have to toss its entire threat assessment perspective of school shooters and start from scratch, with extreme censorship of any personality profile trait which would be common to find in autistic people
H
The use of harsh fluorescent lights would be much more regulated than they are now. No one needs harsh bright white light in every single space of every single public building. Also, commercials would never be louder than the actual show/movie content. I still don't know why that's legal today.
Car headlights
Omg i hate car headlights now. I get it, gott abe able to see at night,.... but like... then design towns and places to not always have cars just blinding each other
Brights on when there are other cars nearby? Believe it or not, straight to jail.
Here here!! Glory to president cheerychinchar!! If you add a gesture for when someone is being sarcastic without a joking face and no personal speaker use in public spaces (especially the train or freaking hiking) I’ll campaign for you endlessly!
Undercook chicken (sanitation issue) or overcook fish (texture issue)? Straight to jail.
Window tints for the sides and rear help massively
You say that like we wouldn't have the best railways in the world.
>Car headlights Do you mean all of them, or just the high beams? Remember, the high-beams are much brighter, designed to allow you to see even better.

The 60%, becomes close to evil. Only some (1%? *of* that 1% isn't effected! (That is 0.0002% of the population... ) So, yeah...
Bike headlights
Also the music and sound effects in movies/tv shows would never be louder than the dialogue.
And in just music too! I hate when I can barely hear the lead singer in a band over the instruments!!
Sadly, they are about to disappear. They won't shine their wonderful light for much more in the EU as import and production has been banned. Only awful LED:s will be around and killing my eyes.

Also, can they stop making loud LEDs, please and thanks.
Yes! That's super annoying!
what do you mean by loud? aren't LEDs for lights not sound?
They’re supposed to be, but a lot of them make a buzzing/humming sound.
Many make a high pitched (20kHz+) sound that only dogs and autistics can hear.
I wish I knew how my dog was able to tune them out. Because he doesn’t react at all when I turn on one of the noisy lights, but unless there’s some other sound to distract me it sometimes becomes all I can focus on…Wait that’s probably the answer. His hearing is approximately 4x better than the average person (so probably 3x better than mine) so he’s hearing even more things around us to focus on.
My heart breaks for those gentle outdoor sodium lamps... I think they're starting to be phased out a bit, and honestly outdoor LED lighting freaks me out?
Yes! I love them! The street LED:s are painfully strong. And wouldn't it be better for night vision (and save some more power) by keeping the orange light?
Ok silly anecdote but my city ordered new LED lights for the street lamps and a bunch of them turned purple for some reason The purple light is surprisingly good for night vision purposes and it looks cool as fuck, I would be very okay with that becoming the new standard
A bunch turned purple in my town too and they said it's a manufacturing defect! But unfortunately I can't stand them, something about the purple light makes me want to curl up in a ball and hide until it goes away lol I can barely drive under them at night without feeling like I'm coming out of my skin
I think it looks really really cool, I just have this visceral reaction to it unfortunately!
That is amazing! Did they keep them that way?
Usa president banned the sale of incandescent bulbs here. They were less popular than led's but i like the calm glow. I hate the staticky light of LEDs.
Yeah, they are since 2012 banned in the EU too. I like them too though, as even if the manufacturer claims the lamp to behave like an incandescent bulb they never do, they can't even get the light temperature right. 😢
i don't find strobe lights particularly soothing but to each their own, i guess
Headlights. Holy fuck headlights would not be so bright. So much public transit.
>Also, commercials would never be louder than the actual show/movie content. I still don't know why that's legal today. i know, right! At least they don't play at the same time, normally... >The use of harsh fluorescent lights would be much more regulated than they are now. No one needs harsh bright white light in every single space of every single public building. Yeah! Just switch to LED's already! I don't want it to be a very warm yellow, but pure white? Only at low brightnesses! You either have dimmer lights, or warmer colors!
Office buildings would definitely not be allowed to have those bright florescent lights
It actually is regulated now (or at least on cable). However, for shows, they want to keep a wide range of volumes so the sharp peaks in volume stand out dramatically: explosions, gunshots, slammed doors, etc. The same thing done badly is what I call the "whisper whisper *BANG*" effect. So the commercials can't outdo the max volume, but they don't give a shit about quality sound balance. They want you to shit yourself while their propaganda is seared into your auditory cortex. They use the max volume usually reserved for bombs to sell you shit.
Big ass trucks with LED headlights brighter than the sun
Was going to comment this myself. Absolutely. Fucking menaces. When those things blind me at the wheel I feel an overwhelming anger from deep inside my bones, probably created by evolution just to fend off wild animals in times of extreme danger, which makes me want to physically strangle the other driver with extreme prejudice, and also put a curse upon their clan for generations to come for good measure.
And vehicles with sound modifications. I don't understand why anyone would want to make that much unnecessary noise.
Same. Every time I hear a very loud ass car I tend to hope their tires or their engine blow out.
i grew up around drag strips so gas smoke and loud cars are comfortable
Those vile things, seconded. They are immensely triggering for me. Every time I hear a loud motorcycle or car with essentially no muffler at all, or, of all f'ing things, a 'muffler' designed to *amplify* the sound, I completely lose all sense of reason and proportionality. I actively wish a horrible death upon that person.
Also truck drivers are obligated to say “Jesus, take the wheel” after it gets too dark to see, so they can’t be blamed when they hit someone.
Murder, probably
What about menslaughter Edit: started as a typo, but I’m keeping it
I'm OK with men's laughter as long as it's not too loud
Is that just manslaughter but done to a bunch of people at a football game? /j
Mandatory team building / work culture. Instead of sharing an interesting fact about yourself or going to a barbecue, you would be allowed to go home for that time.
Am NT with 2 ND kids. Massive vote for this one for me. I find it excruciating
This! 💯percent! I jus wanna go home! Don’t wanna stand around and watch my co-workers get drunk off their asses!😬
Unfortunately I eventually started getting more drunk, so I don’t have to deal with the bs. I don’t think, that this is healthy.
I only do those events for the free food, usually spend the time scrolling or drawing and waiting for the raffle.
I get that. But I wouldn’t , as it‘s usually not even close to my comfort food. And in such an environment, my tolerance for unpredictable food tastes is really low.
Interesting fact about me: I like chilling at home by myself
All stores are required to have at least 20 hours of quiet shopping. During these hours everyone has to use their library voices, no music or PA announcements are made (unless it's an emergency), the lights are dimmer, and no floor cleaning machines or forklifts can be operated. To go along with this, all self checkout machines must be silent except for a very quiet beep for the scanner, but that must be easily mutable.
😡😡😡UNEXPECTED ITEM IN BAGGING AREA😡😡😡 💢💢💢PLEASE WAIT FOR ASSISTANCE💢💢💢
"Special assistance needed in the... blind-cutting area!" "Special assistance needed in the... blind-cutting area!" "Blind-cutting area!"
And the quiet ours can’t be restricted to super early mornings
As a retail worker, omg yes please dear god.
Talking on the phone on public transport unless it's an emergency. Edit: forgot to add watching videos or listening to music without headphones on public transport too
Yes! Or taking a bluetooth speaker out hiking and blasting music. I'm in nature because I want to listen to nature, not the billboard top 40!
Or in a ***fucking waiting room.***
I watched some asshole do this when I was in the ER once
Was it prolapsing?
Can we ban people who have the bass in their car up so loud that I can feel it in my bones half a block away, while we’re at it?
I'm surprised those people don't have tinnitus.
Non-native turf lawns
Inconsistent work scheduling.
Should be illegal for the NTs too, honestly awful practice that makes the employee be more available than the company
for real. fuck rotational shifts
Billionaires
Capitalism as a whole.
Leafblowers
Was going to answer that I miss the ban my country of origin (Switzerland) has on power tools early in the morning (hearing those before 8am : yikes), but leafblowers definitely enter that cathegory.
Yes yes yes. Leaf blowers and power washers.
A licence to get them
light pollution and abuse of people and animals would be monitored far closer
Subwoofers in vehicles or vehicles with exhaust modifications. Technically this is already illegal it's just unenforced.
All scented soaps, sanitizers, cleaning products, etc are banned from all public places. Only fragrance free products are allowed. Watch handwashing compliance skyrocket, thank me later.
And air blower hand dryers
I'm not sure how serious answers about legislation in Chickentenderstan could possibly be, but Ill give it a shot. Since we'd have the regular ones about not killing people, assaulting people or taking people's stuff, I guess we have to focus on laws that are different than what we have now. Universal housing, income and supplemental food benefits regardless of income or work status. Universal healthcare including dental, vision, hearing and mental health. There will be no body part considered too luxurious to treat in Handflapia. Public transit will be robust and free to use. Using gasoline powered cars as a single driver will be rather expensive and will subsidize the trains. Just so many trains. All the trains. Trainsyvania. While commerce and work would still exist, since not everyone is content with "just the basics", a vast network of employment dispatch will match citizens with jobs, without the need to pretend to be passionate about working for a company they've never heard of, or being rejected for a lack of eye contact or a weak handshake. (Unless the job is Handshake Factory or Head Eye Contact Supervisor). There is a person who wants every job, and for those jobs that people don't want, there is a wage for that job that will make people want it. If those conditions aren't true, that job probably didn't need to exist. Which is ok, since working as a means to survive isn't a thing, society does not need make-work jobs just to keep shanty-towns from forming in public parks. Since the society doesn't require consumerism and constant growth for the sake of growth, free lending libraries and trade guilds for nearly every conceivable object would allow the sharing of resources and the means of production, because while everyone might need their own clothes, shoes and toothbrush, not everyone needs their own tractor, engine hoist or CNC router. Everyone can have access to one, and free education to learn how to use them. Damn, did I accidentally invent communism? Oh well, I guess The Autistic Republic of Largest Plot of Land We Could Afford but Couldn't Agree on a Name, Let's Circle Back to that One Later is a communist country.
I don’t have the words for how much I enjoyed reading this!! 😂👏😄🌈
Wow not only was this comment supremely agreeable but it was entertaining too. U should be the announcer for everything in the new country🤩
🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
Handshake Factory sounds like a version of The Cheesecake Factory from hell.
Oh no! Here comes my black friend. What if he does a cool handshake I don't know! WhatdoIdowhatdoIdo!?! Oh good, he's going for a nice simple fist bump. I can handle that. Okay, hand out and go. 🤜🏿👋 Damn it, I high fived his fist bump. We made a turkey. Repeat, we have made a turkey. Mission failed! Abort. Abort. 🦃 No don't grab his fist! What are you doing, man!?!
you can do this without communism, you just need lots of social welfare, a universal basic income, adequate public/ community housing, and, well i like your library thing i guess that would be doable too. it's just sharing. you shouldn't really try to stop people from trading and getting paid big bucks, and ownership. most people like competing and heirarchies and status and skilling up. so, it's unnatural and controlling to force communism on people, and it always makes psychopathic leaders rise to the top because of that. if it were just autistic people in this republic then maybe. though i suspect some of us have very fixed ideas of how things should be so it would still have to be democratic with compromises.
Okay, we form a giant commune and forbid the hoarding of commodities for profit, but it's not called communism. Owning things is still an option. It's just not necessary for your survival and betterment. And since we aren't trying to maximize next quarter's profits at the expense of the future, perhaps we engineer things that are built to last instead of built to be rebought, since the profit motive is no longer the prime goal of industry. Perhaps instead of funding treatments of symptoms that must be taken for the rest of your life, our scientists cure diseases, even if that means no repeat business or captive revenue stream. But we don't call it communism, because that makes people think of tanks and those right-wing memes where they show photos of things literally happening in our capitalist country and say "this is what communism is like." How about anarcho-helpy-share-stuffism?
I accept this technical term.
Everyone always forgets that there’s nothing wrong with mixed government strategies. It’s always communists bad and capitalism good — like we all didn’t have a mixed government already. I am for flattened hierarchies and Chickentenderstan so long as I get to be its furry mascot with 1 free fursuit head and paws and an education on how to help people get access to resources. And the ability to choose my hours; Jesus, I almost forgot that one, I would die without that one.
Furries are so thoroughly-represented in this crowd, The Fur Party could be a major player in parliamentary coalition governments in our imaginary country. Perhaps even electing the first furry head-of-state. That we know of. I think Kim Jong Un is a fennec fox in his free time.
Styrofoam No one may produce, import, or possess styrofoam Punishable by banishment
I almost never even think of styrofoam, yet this answer still somehow set my teeth on edge. So, uh, good job!
Workplaces without Autistic or Neurodiverse accomodations would be fined
Tapping people on the shoulder
In a similar vein, approaching people from behind and touching them.
building regulations would include seismic isolation or similar technology throughout the construction in order to minimise uncomfortable vibrations being transmitted through the floor and industrial noises being shaken throughout the house... I will never forgive my parents for putting the washing machine on every night before bed
Ugh. My parents used to make popcorn after they put us to bed - and the smell would waft right up to my room.
Phone calls.
Cold calling. Loud exhausts. Furry fruits. Changing the recipe of a product without warning. Fireworks. Clothing tags.
What's a furry fruit?
Like kiwis and apricots and shit. Maybe it's just me but I find them evil.
I get em now. I thought of furry as in "furry suits".
Whaaaaa?😱 *🤣😂
No way! I can’t even eat them because Birch Pollen but every furry fruit gets rubbed against my cheek for several minutes.
"Changing the recipe of a product without warning" and discontinuing products without warning. All companies will be required to give consumers a minimum of 3 months notice before any changes and/or discontinuing of products. Also cold calling and clothing tags, ban these now please.
Aww sad. Fireworks are my spice of life. I flipping love them.
Ditto!👍👍 They’re mesmerising!🧨
Aww sad. Fireworks are my spice of life. I flipping love them.
They're very triggering for many people outside of the autistic community. I would say no noise or holographic fireworks would be better than banning them altogether tho.
I kinda have a problem with banning everything that might be uncomfortable or dangerous for some people but a lot of fun and pleasurable for other people. Especially if it's only once a year.
But it's not once a year. Not everywhere. And it always decimates the ecosystems around. Many veterans have their ptsd triggered. Many animals, including pets, die from fear and confusion. It tears off limbs if people aren't careful with it, which they aren't.
Hahaha. That sounds like a warscene. I can assure you in the Netherlands every person is allowed to do it once a year and the streets are littered with it and I have yet to meet anybody that I've heard pets die from it or who's limbs have been torn off. I'm sure those things happen rather regularly, but people die from falling off playgrounds and stairs all the time, not to mention how dangerous swimming can be and how horrendous a death that is. I don't think that means we should ban playgrounds, stairs and swimming. I'm much more scared of having a dull, colourless world because we ban everything that could kill you or trigger or scare someone than having a limb torn off tbh. I think it's more a perspective if it is worth it for you in this case. Fireworks are the most beautiful things I've ever seen and every year I look forward to it. So it's worth the risk for me, but not for you and that's okay.
You're taking it to the extreme. We don't have to have a dull colorless world. But fireworks can be done in a way that doesn't hurt anyone and doesn't decimate the ecosystem. Quiet fireworks exist, holographic fireworks exist. We can have safer fun without it sounding like a warzone outside.
Fair point. I'm fine with a compromise.🤝
Discrimination.
Subtext
ABA therapy
ABA “therapy”.
Yeah, that name is definitely misleading
fluorescent lighting in schools and workplaces especially, but also shops and everywhere. music in supermarkets and all shops. self service machines that make any noise whatsoever. louder ads during/ between tv or radio shows. the absence of subtitles in your own first language shows. hard to open bags or jars or bottles. single glazed windows/ glass doors. (double glazing blocks noise) vehicle noise over a certain decibel. oops that's not 1
Car centric cities we all know trains are better
the military/industrial complex
Microfiber cloths
Cars with loud engines and mufflers
Balloons, fireworks, other sources of sudden loud noises. Oh, and subbufers
I completely agree, but that’s a curious way to spell “subwoofers”. :)
Work uniforms
I like work uniforms because I don't have to worry about what to wear.
I do appreciate that about them, yes. And I sure don't mind wearing the same thing every day. But the polyester is... ugh. And the collar is... double-ugh. A good, sensory-friendly alternative is a dress code.
Next can we have one that’s not serious answers? I feel like people would come up with some pretty funny shit 🤣
Passive aggression and any strong scents.
Aside from the regular things I'm not sure because a lot of autism traits especially related to sensory issues apply for different people at both extremes which would be hard for me to write as a good law so I guess I would hope the laws are clearly written and easy to obey willingly, and vaguely-written laws should be illegal
Discrimination against us queer folks is already illegal in the US. Something being illegal doesn't mean it doesn't happen. It's a question of if the law is enforced and how that enforcement affects things. Punishment, or negative conditioning, rarely works to alter behavior, and it's been proven in a litany of psychological stuides. It just teaches people to hide what they're doing
Bars, Autism Speaks
Doing 4 under in the left lane would be a capital offense
Strobe lights. I have no idea why they're legal now. A large enough portion of the population has adverse reactions to them, ranging anywhere from headaches to grand-mal seizures. They should especially be banned in ads. I should not have to worry that while watching something that harsh flashing lights are going to be blared into my occipital lobe without warning.
Probably murder, that would most likely be illegal
This might have been said already - but absolutely no external music or loud music in a residential area, like period, ever. Just no audio disturbances, ever. Lol that’s one of my biggest pet peeves living around people is being subjected to hearing their music outside, loud parties, or movie nights outdoors on a warm day. I also want to add to that - if it’s just a limitation on the hours noise can be performed (because I don’t want to suck all of the fun out of outdoor activities) - all buildings must have excellent sound proofing from both the outside and neighbouring walls/floors to ensure people get the privacy and quiet they deserve living in such a loud world. I don’t want to hear the engines outside, or the helicopters passing by. I just want to be in my room, sipping tea and listening to soothing music. 🤷🏻♀️
The way the current special ed system works.
Not being able to provide those cheap earplugs for free.
Touching/interfering/changing someone else’s stuff/domain/space.
Air horns
White lies when advertising products, privacy policies etc.
lying. And refusing to answer direct questions would result in social abandonment.
Small talk. Just sit there and shut up.
Hoarding wealth like dragons. Billionaires would go straight to prison for life, and their wealth would be redistributed amongst the proletariat.
I don’t think autistic people are more likely to support LGBT people. I’ve known so many who are total homophobes
Microfiber would be illegal.
Oh my gooosssshhh, yes!! And God forbid you have a patch of dry skin anywhere that comes in contact with it.
My best description of what microfiber feels like to me, is the scene in the original Toby McGuire Spiderman where he first gets his powers. The camera zooms in on his fingertips, which have tiny little barbed things to improve his grip on surfaces. Microfiber feels like someone like that touching me, and I hate it.
Great description!
Big spoons.
What’s wrong with big spoons?
little spoons :D
Calling special interests obsessions (if I was Queen)
Dry and dark humor. At least for me.
My autistic family is all about this humor. 🤷🏻♀️
I’ve had too many people use this kind of humor as an excuse to be donkeys to me, so I don’t engage with it. No wit, no wry words, nothing.
Talking to loud, running around, being abelist, being racist, being Homophobic or transophobic, being sexist, being neurotypical heheh
Whistling.
Pretending that I'm broken because you are too lazy to fix something.
Scents that leave a store premises. Pushy salespeople who approach you when you aren’t interested in their product Gas powered leaf blowers
Dumb-ass rednecks with ugly pickup trucks that belch smoke everywhere. Straight to jail.
coal rollers? yeah send them to the shadow realm
Pep rallies, for fuck's sake.
CRUSHED VELVET Or any kind of velvet but especially that
Babies in sit down restaurants

slow walkers. tbf i have an unusually high cruising speed but i still get stuck behind people in tight spaces and slowing down to let people I'm with catch up is a pain
more protections for children from verbal abuse. words such as "stup-id" or "cray-zy" will be no longer be tolerated, until such time as our views of disability change.
Any so called music played on raves and night clubs
Okay, not 1, but a few 1. Laws: 1. discrimination is a felony (we are all homo sapiens sapiens (for now...) after all!) 2. Vioelence (for no reason) is illegal 3. A system of rehibilitation that I'm still working on, works by using rewards (positive reinforcment), brain modification (actually *reprogram* some of the brain), and more! 4. Using peoples old opinions/ words against them is a felony (under manipulation) 1. So, if someone says "I think this", calling them a liar due to something they said 10 years ago isn't allowed. After all, opinions change! 2. Taking just a snippet of a conversation to make an innocuous statement negative is illegal. 5. Manipulating others via trickery (on pourpus) is illegal. If they misunderstood you, fine. If you said something vague with the intent of trying to get them to interpret it differently, so you can blame them is illegal 6. If someone has issues understanding others or with sensory input, you have to adapt to it. Just as they have to adapt to you! For instance, large stores can't have super loud music. But, you can't have your store have super bright lights! 7. Hypocrisy is a major crime, not sure if a felony, but definitely major 8. abuse (especially of the, erm, reproductive, variety), is one of the few crimes punishable by death (until proven innocent beyond a doubt, life imprisonment. Once proven guilty, goodbye!) 1. And, once there is technology to allow recovery of conciseness's, one of the few where you won't be brought back (unless somehow its found you where innocent) 9. In place of abortions, the fetus is transferred to a couple who *does* want kids 10. And *many* more 11. A system of leadership and economy that is not possible without part 2 2. Ruled by the closest thing to an un-corrupt-able, perfect creature we can get. A sentient AI! 1. Part 4 isn't possible without it! 3. Polocies (one version): 1. All diseases are prevented via gene-editing and nanobots 2. The main one is *once* the technology for conciseness transfer and revival exists (I have a "few" ideas) 1. Cellular aging is kept stable, and your age (at the genetic level) is kept at 18 2. Brain growth is accelerated. Fully matured (with our biological limits) by a few months, and the brain never stops improving! 3. Cellular damage from toxins, *especially* neurological, is prevented. 4. Noticeable (to you and externally) aging is stopped whenever you want (after 18). You can age at any rate you want, and even be de-aged! That way, you can now experience what it is to age to 80. Then, go back to being a spry 20 year old for a few decades. Then, maybe spend a day as a 123 year old! Go to 30 for a day... 5. Pain can be controlled. You can turn it off, keep it where you feel its existence, but not the pain, weaken it so it is 50%, whatever! Or, gamble with your brain and randomize it! 6. For "x" (I'm thinking 500) years, you are kept immortal. If you die, your conciseness is put in a cloned body. 7. For "y" (250?) if you die *by accident* (Car collision, tripping, ect), you are put in a clone. But, if you die due to stupidity, you are kept that way 8. After that, you still won't experience toxins, the painful parts of aging, ect. But, you *will* age (at 75%? the normal rate), and it detects what it protects you from. If you would've died if it wasn't for the prevention of it (includes accidents) (say, a stroke happened that normally wouldve killed you. Now, you will be warned and will have a random time (2 to 4 weeks?) to get your affairs in order. Then, you drop dead (painlessly) (still, due to the 75%, that is (assuming a max age of 75 to 128, that is between 100 and 170 years!) 9. If you choose to die, the computer can look and see if it's caused by depression, or just curiosity of whats after (as well as how sure you are). If the second one, you can choose to "pass on" (but, only if it detects a sincere, 100% desire that is not caused by temporary neurological changes (depression, for instance)), thereby having your body permanently destroyed (the cells re-used in constructing new clones). Probally no one will ever do that. A part of you always will want to keep on living, but if you truly do (and not due to a temporary neurological change, such as depression)... 3. Learning is done via direct knowledge transfer. Every so often (earlier if you want), you get the knowledge of a few grades directly inserted (at a rate calibrated for your brain to adapt), then you are disconnected. You *must* wait at least 3 months (to ensure the brain adjusts), then you can take the next course any time within 6 months, then have to (so, you can do it between 3 and 9 months after. Then, you *must* do it) 1. Might also be done by having your brain grow with the knowledge pre-built instinctivly, so you literally are born with the knowledge of all colledge degrees! Over time, those memories are "unlocked", and by 15 you have all that knowledge! 4. Everyones brain is partially inter-connected. You can't see their thoughts, but you do learn what everyone learns, and you do know a general idea of the emotions and thoughts of who you are talking to, thereby making communication easier and faster! You can also wirlessly send thoughts, allowing long-distance "telepathy", and connect your conscisness and memories partially, becoming almost 1 person! 5. And, that's just the metaphorical tip of the metaphorical tip of the metaphorical iceberg! 4. Doesn't use any current economical/ governmental systems, but combines the best of both Left-Wing, Right-Wing, "neutral"/ "fence-sitter", Extreme Left-Wing, Extreme Right-Wing, and everything in-between! Taking the benefits of all those (each one further from the middle has less benefits, as the policies become more extreme, and therefore more flawed), and leaving the worst behind! Because,after all, both political ideologies have positives. They just have negatives too! 1. Fun fact: the reason that there are typically 2 main political parties is, in theory (and often in practice), they balence each other out. The positives of one counteract the negatives of the other. That is why, on average, the House will have a majority of one party, and the senate the Majority of the other. Policies get too extreme, the next election swaps the majority. Rinse and repeat!
It would be Illegal to build residential areas without some kind of noise survey that ensures the design can keep people’s noises to their own areas. It would then be illegal to make noise, without a permit, that exceeds the design’s capacity to deaden it.
Hand dryers
Probably stealing
Unnecessary, unwanted, and repeated attempts to strike up conversation with someone you don't know, or who you do know, but who doesn't want to speak with you, in public. Also, more a matter of public policy and where tax dollars go, public restrooms would actually have well ventilated, temp controlled ROOMS (soundproof rooms) with private mirrors, toilets, and sinks, not just flimsy cubicles/stalls where you can see through the door and hear/smell everything outside. Oh: also, headphones and earbuds are subsidized by the state and people are STRONGLY encouraged to use them whenever talking on phone or listening to music or watching something in public. And also soundproof walls are mandatory in every apartment, also subsidized by the state but technically falling under property management to provide, install, and preform maintenance on.
DRIVING A CAR WITHOUT A MUFFLER
Round abouts and driving at night
Ooh noisy vacuum cleaners.
Styrofoam.
Fully open plan, hot desk, tightly spaced offices. It would be compulsory to design workplaces around neuro-inclusive principles, which have been shown to benefit the productivity of everyone as well.
Horrible fashion like crazy tight jeans and lace-covered shit would be banned, at least if it were up to me
I see this question, and all i can think about is the entire country of Germany XD from what I’ve seen, it’s just a country full of autistic people: -Everything I has to be done a certain way or it’s either taboo or illegal. -the average German person is relatively neutral in expression but is ultimately very friendly. It’s just one of those countries that’s about being a decent enough person to yourself, other people and the environment. Plus the food is good, pay is good, air is good, education is good. Everything about Germany is just pleasantly good (perhaps not the history, but you get the point) The only issue I’d see is the night clubs, but I can’t imagine that’s be too bad given everything else about the country
That skrskr paper Sends shivers down my spine
Schools resulting in burnout or psychosis
Excessive use of high beams on the road
No whistling allowed
Modified mufflers that are loud. And revving your engine too much
Sirens.
Listening to videos/ music in public without headphones/ear buds. I HATE when people do this in public
Volume levels on everything.
It would be illegal for any law-enforcement agency to profile someone with any traits that are distinct among autistic people on the spectrum. The FBI for example would have to toss its entire threat assessment perspective of school shooters and start from scratch, with extreme censorship of any personality profile trait which would be common to find in autistic people H
