I don't mean being an obnoxious NT alpha male redpill dark triad thing, I mean social and communication issues related to autism, which are very off-putting to NT's.
It would depend on how goodlooking you would become, and how autistic you are. Normally, you'd have to be model tier for a girl to put up with significant autism. But if you're mildly autistic, you can be chadlite or maybe even a high tier normie. And you're right, you don't need to be "alpha", just able to use basic social skills.
I don't get it, if you have self awareness and you know what you're doing, just don't do it, if you have the ability to learn the rules and mechanics of video games and master them, then you can do the same with real life interactions, truth is some of you guys don't put in half the effort you put into the world of fiction, into real life
As someone who has a brother who is well into the autistic spectrum, it's not as easy as you think. For example, if someone is super clumsy, they can practice sports all they want. They may get marginally better, but it won't be enough for them to be competent to play casually with others. You can practice throwing, catching, try to move your body into position, etc. But in real time situations, everything is much faster and intense.
The same applies to autistic people in social interactions. My brother is good at reading social situations from the outside. But once he's in them, he can't function. Autistic people's brains are not able to pick up on body language and eye contact, it's as if they don't even exist to them. Like I said before, he can make a focused effort and do a
little bit better, but he will not be able to successfully sustain his efforts.
It's important to remember that a lot of autistic people have many other neurological and physical problems as well. My brother also suffers from generalized anxiety disorder, add/adhd, and ocd. He's very physically clumsy and has slow reflexes. This is made worse by his obesity and sleep apnea. He also has various sensory issues relating to smell, heat, and touch (both being touched and touching others). His problems are very complex and interconnected, and cannot be solved with simple solutions. He has to take various medications with side effects that exacerbate his existing problems. For example, his anxiety medication makes him gain weight. This makes his sleep apnea worse and makes him very tired, which not only effects his social skills, but his physical motor skills as well. However, it's better than him sperging out 24/7 without the meds.
In my experience, autistic people do a much better job at adapting when people don't give them special treatment.. While they aren't attuned to the subtleties of human communication, they detect danger like all creatures do. They may not be able to pick up on body language, but they will notice if someone gets clearly angry with them. For example, my brother would violently threaten me and sometime even attack me, and my parents forbid me from hitting him back, which enabled his behavior Eventually I got sick of it and began threatening him and hitting him back. He'd immediately limp away and whimper like a dog.
However, I do think that people with mild autism and no other significant disorders can develop functional social skills with focus and effort. They probably won't become likeable, but they won't be hated either.
