(1) Autists' Low Fecundity
Autists have an average of 0.25 kids.
Except for women with depression, affected patients had significantly fewer children (FR range for those with psychiatric disorder, 0.23-0.93; P < 10−10). This reduction was consistently greater among men than women, suggesting that male fitness was particularly sensitive.
(2) Autists' Low Marriage Rate
Group Estimated Marriage Rate
General Population 50%
Autistic Adults 9%
(3) Autists' Lack of Friends
Autists want and need friends just as much as normies do, and try to mask and perform to get and keep them, however it works poorly and the masking and performing are bad for their mental health:
Autists are four times more likely to be lonely than normies
Factors associated with autistic loneliness:
Heightened anxiety
Depression and suicidal ideation
Negative experiences and learned helplessness
Lack of autism understanding and acceptance from others
Sensory avoidance
Camouflaging
Inadequate Social Participation Among Young Adults with an Autism Spectrum Disorder
(4) Unemployment
The Office for National Statistics (ONS) has published new data that shows just 22% of autistic adults are in any kind of employment.
So to some up just get in the gym, get in the shower and put yourself out there bros! Life is what you make it, so if you're a loser, you deserve it and have no one to blame but yourself!

autistic individuals have the strong desire to make friends, with most autistic individuals valuing the qualities of shared interests, reciprocity, trust and respect in friendship and having a small number of friends. Despite the motivations to have friends, autistic individuals could experience great challenges in making and keeping friends. To cope with the challenges and fit into the non-autistic world, many individuals engage in adaptive morphing or persistently learn and practise social skills in their everyday lives. These constant efforts often led to feelings of increased anxiety and emotional fatigue, further contributing to mental health problems.
Autists are four times more likely to be lonely than normies
Dr Gemma Williams of Swansea University said "autistic people were way more distressed by their loneliness than neurotypical people".
One autistic man told the BBC he can find making friends and conversation challenging.
Factors associated with autistic loneliness:
Heightened anxiety
Depression and suicidal ideation
Negative experiences and learned helplessness
participants explained that their past experiences impacted their desire for socialisation, with negative experiences, such as bullying leading them to avoid socialisation: "People have been so cruel to me - I don’t socialise ever anymore"
Lack of autism understanding and acceptance from others
I cannot talk about my real experience of life to most people, because they wouldn’t understand or be interested. That makes me feel, as the saying goes, ‘lonely in a room full of people’ and I’m fed up with it.
Hwang et al. reported that a lack of autism awareness and understanding caused negative social experiences for autistic adults, including bullying and social isolation.
Sensory avoidance
Two studies... identified sensory avoidance as a factor positively associated with loneliness among autistic adults. Smith and Sharp reported that sensory avoidance due to sensory stressful environments render autistic adults socially isolated, which could lead to loneliness.
Camouflaging
Hull et al. further explained that relationships formed when camouflaging may be perceived as false by some autistic adults, which can leave them with the feelings of loneliness. Elmose’s qualitative study also reported that autistic adults engaged in camouflaging and this was linked to their experiences of loneliness.
Inadequate Social Participation Among Young Adults with an Autism Spectrum Disorder
Young adults with an ASD were significantly more likely to never see friends (38.6%), never get called by friends (47.2%), and never be invited to activities (48.1%) compared to other groups.
The rate of being socially isolated (no participation in any of the three activities) in the ASD group (28.1%) ranged from 3 to 14 times higher than other groups.
adjusted odds ratios predicting social participation outcomes revealed that young adults with an ASD had significantly higher odds of friends never calling and of being socially isolated compared to all three disability comparison groups.
young adults with ASD had higher adjusted odds of never seeing friends compared to young adults in the ID and LD groups.
young adults with ASD had higher adjusted odds of never being invited to activities compared to young adults from the LD group.
Focusing on the young adults with ASD, those with more limited conversation ability had significantly higher odds of friends never calling and of being socially isolated. Young adults with lower functional skills also had significantly higher odds of friends never calling. Those who were not living independently had higher odds of never seeing friends.
