Autists are:
-More honest
-More rule-abiding
-More trusting
-More atomised (more urban-minded, less community-minded)
-More literate and numerate (not necessarily all-round more intelligent)
-Less violent (except in occasional tantrums, which are different from competitive aggression)
-Less competitive
-More hard working (on whatever they have it in their head they should be doing)
-Seem to need more social order than currently exists to do well, but they are eager to bring that order to society

Sounds like northern Europeans turned up to 11, when you think about it.

They can't really be the next stage in human evolution because no women will let them pass on their genes.
Women can create autists by having kids late but then those kids can't pass on their genes. Eventually the autism gene will be eradicated by natural selection.
Technically we are regressing evolutionarily because autists are the ones who can create a better world while normies are destroying it.

Because they are more community-minded.

Like a third world businessman who endlessly beats it around the bush, inviting you to dinner, exchanging gifts, introducing you to his family, expecting you to laugh at his jokes, suggesting that you join him and his associates at a whorehouse where male bonding can occur, a normie simply does not care about anything other than his own social status.

Making money or accomplishing a given task is absolutely incidental to the backslapping buddy-buddy process. In fact, it's mostly a side-effect. If they could achieve the same amount of ego-stroking while living on welfare in the projects, normies would do so.

Normie businessmen, like wogs (the original normies, annexed and administered by their cold-blooded euro-autist overlords,) care more about status and schmoozing than money. This is community-mindedness.

this doesn't make sense because gender reassignment isn't a perfect process. there are no pros to making yourself even more freakish. this is something most people with autism are acutely aware of. perhaps individuals with gender dysphoria are more likely to display autistic traits, but i think your hypothesis is a stretch.

of course not. people with autism are effectively culled from the gene pool. underdeveloped social and communication skills pretty much guarantee non-participation. even people with down syndrome are probably more likely to end up having kids than people with moderate to severe autism.

yes, feminism isn't exactly helping, but it's probably far more because these people suffer social and professional defeat. i wouldn't blame any woman for not wanting to date an oddball "nerd" with no actual career. i also think that mass media and pop culture are largely to blame for the societal ills that /pol/ often ascribes to feminism. of course women are going to act like dumb whores if that's all they see on tv and the internet. it has nothing to do with feminism.
