So it's really worth reading? I'm almost completely socially retarded, to the point where when I read pretty obvious body language accurately I feel good about myself.

Read that, just download the book. It is not a long one and most of it is common sense. But since you are asking for advice on 4chan, you are probably fucked. That one will help you fix things out.

But isn't it just social advice for people who are already normies? I need social advice for spergs.

Its good. But don't think you'll get any better at being sociable once you've read it. You still have to go outside and undergo the standard trial-and-error of figuring out the rhythm of socializing, through experience. All that the book will do is give you information on different techniques, but the only way on learning how to actually use the right techniques and in what way in a given situation and for a specific end goal is something you'll have to learn through experience.

Don't get me wrong, reading will speed up the process of shedding your autism, but "the process" itself must still be done. Steroids won't give you bigger muscles if you don't work out. If you don't like it, then just read a human anatomy book and drive a knife through your favorite artery

i know somebody who read this and implemented this shit in his real life. he is the most autistic person i have ever known and it is way too obvious when he tries to "manipulate" you into liking him. if you want to learn how to act around people, go outside. this book will turn you into a fucking assburger alien
