How do I train myself to recognize body language, facial expressions and other non verbal comunication as an autist?

Mostly it's just about actively paying attention. You'll pick up patterns, make assumptions, occasionally be wrong and refine your heuristics. Human brains are really good at this; it just takes active observation.

It's best to understand what people want and then cover your bases by standard deviations.

What people are looking at matters more than anything else.

Smart glasses are an interesting potential future idea. If AI advances to the point that progressive information like that can be compressed into something consciously trackable for autists it would probably improve certain autistic people's functioning.

Get to know someone a little so you know their wants and dislikes. Their expressions will mirror that.

As for new people or strangers, you cant really know what their expressions mean too much. You can only use your experience with people you know expressions.

People-watch

Sit in a park or coffeshop or food court and just watch people interacting.

"Oh, he knew she was just kidding because of the way she was smiling."
"Oh, they shook hands formally when they parted. It may have been just a business meeting."
"Those two black guys kept calling each other Nigger but they were laughing. It must be OK for them but not for us."
