Sure the social disadvantages are massive and obvious, but there is more to the diagnose than that. Here is a list of a few symptoms, some i have, some i dont.
Hyper sensitivity: Not muh felling, but to sound, textures, temperature, light, smell, etc. This is more intense than a mere dislike, it can be so strong it cause physical reaction, food texture can make a autist vomit, some texture can induce fight or flight instinct, etc. This can come from normal everyday items, not just nasty shit. Autist lack the abilty to filter out stimuli, they hear "everything", there is no background noise if it all is in the foreground.
Hyper fixation: The fixation for a subject can be so intense that the autist forgets basic necessities, like sleeping. i once was awake for 3 days just reading about Cavalry tactics thru history.
Routine: if the routine is broken the autist might just stop functioning there and then, anger or panic, the reacion is intense.
Meltdowns: To much stimuli might make the autist shutdown, this might manifest as aggresion or self isolation, the latter refered too as shutdown by some. If there is to much noise i might sit in a dark room for a hour or two, doing nothing.
Asymmetrical face: there is studies that found autist to have assymertical features, more than normies, lookism comes in here. This is just some studies but i think there is something here. Not all autistic have this but is more common among them, more so than normies
There is more but the zoomercels dont have the attention span so im gonna stop here.
Im just gonna say that if social retardation is your main issue with autism, im not sure if you are autistic.
