So many people have this false understanding that having Aspergers is an immutable social death sentence but they fail to realize that it is a spectrum. Luckily, it is only mild with me and I have decent looks. If you are a man with Aspergers with a sex drive you have even more of a reason to learn seduction than the average man and if you don't make an effort to learn the very basics, you will hate your life.

Be realistic about your expectations though. Nothing will cure Aspergers. You are born with it and you will die with it. There are still times that I feel disconnected from humanity and there are still times where I feel like a well-liked socially nomadic stranger, even around people I've known for years. But by studying body language, vocal tone, social power dynamics, and game theory you will at least have a fighting chance and know how to protect yourself, recognize opportunities, and know how to take them.

To all the guys who have Asperger's on this subreddit, I wish you godspeed!

I have posted about my experiences before here. The most crippling aspect of anything on the Autism spectrum is the depression. Every social interaction is a challenge, the constant awareness that you are not fitting in and interactions have negative impact.

I have overcome a lot of issues by actually accepting the hand I was dealt. Even embracing it, as a consequence a good portion of the depression dissipated. And oddly with a bit more confidence and not giving a fuck attitude it has reinforced Red Pill ideologies.

Previously I never boasted or bragged and would persistently apologize for myself. I do well in IT engineering, I have a good job and have been to lots of interesting places. In my arena of expertize I out-pace my peers and my experience is respected. So I do indulge in boasting and started to emote my opinions more. It has payed off.

Also getting burned a few times, I am now aware of the warning signs and not afraid to call a thing when I see it. I don't have a gut reaction or can't read social queues. And some things take a bit to sink in.

A recent example, I was being ripped off by a friend, and you know when you leave a room and figure it out but its too late to go back. Well I went back and fuck social convention.

If you're someone with asperger's you'll naturally be much more red pill than most to begin with.

You tend to reject bullshit rules that don't make sense to you but loyally follow those that do. It will make switching to an RP personality very easy once you have an experience that forces you to question what you've been taught.

You can also learn body language easily, despite being intrinsically unaware. Since you're always on point in social interactions you'll be more cued to pick up big signs that someone whose only half paying attention might miss.

You lack micro expressions in your face and have a life time of experience manufacturing emotions so its easy to maintain the appearance of frame, even if you yourself are not feeling confident internally. Side note: people with aspergers can make great actors.

They're probably a lot of other things but these are just off the top of my head.

As someone who took 4 years of conscious effort and a best friend who used it endlessly to understand sarcasm; learning NLP was a saving grace for me.

understanding social cues down is difficult if you don't naturally feel/see/hear them. Took me a few years of constant practice to get a handle on it.
