@Jonaschuzzlewit @hidden Point was I spent years fixing myself with no small amount of encouragement from a belligerent fat woman. Until I was about half way through my 20s I was a fucking weirdo. It's not impossible for someone who is self aware or made self aware to change course.
It's easier said than done and I might be an exception in terms of sheer retarded willpower but I don't think it's impossible for any autist to better themselves socially.

I do still have moments when I blurt out really; really rude shit. Very mean sounding empirical observations about people right to their face but I'm aware of what I've said when I say it, then apologize, and try to make it clear that it happens and that I'm an asshole. Practically altered my entire psychology to get where I am now. Always fine tuning 'being human'.

But yeah. They have to want to 'fix' themselves. They have to see for them self that those quirks are a problem for the people around them and introspect on it.
