#1 Reason women aren't interested in me? I'm boring. How do you even fix that? I repressed all my autistic interests and can't bring myself to give a fuck about any normie shit like sports or alcohol.

No, none of my autistic interest will cut it. No women wants a guy who is obsessed with the lore of a specific video game series that died 15 years ago ok?

True
Maybe give your balls a tug and go outside

How do you even know that? Are you just assuming that's the case? Have you met or tried to meet women who are interested in the things you are?
>none exist!
You're not so special that nobody else relates to you. Having any interest that you're passionate about isn't boring, having no interests or passions at all would. The issue isn't what you like, it's your audience, and lucky for you, women and people aren't a monolith. Even if they aren't explicitly interested in what you are, if they like you, they'll like you and listen to you share your interests. You'll never be happy suppressing yourself, and if you try to put on a fake persona and hide who you really are, you won't ever have a genuine connection because you won't allow anyone to actually know you, so you'll be just as alone regardless. Stop worrying about the people that aren't interested in you and find the ones who will accept you as you are, for who you are. That might just be a few people, and those few are all you'll ever need.

1. Think for yourself rather than necessarily being a consumer of opinions.
2. Ask questions, let the other person finish, and listen carefully to the answers. Heed the old saying about having two ears and one mouth and using them in proportion. Don't treat their reply as something to wait for an opening so you can jump in with your opinion.
3. It is alright to be silent. You don't have to fill silences.
4. Read a lot and, while doing so, notice the connections with things you already know or have read elsewhere.
5. Make use of metaphor. Notice how it is the basis for a lot of humour. Look on the lighter side of things.

Hardly a complete list; just off the top of my head.

Talking about sports = still boring.
Go DO things.
Go rafting; go hiking; sky dive; SOMETHING

6. Learn handwriting analysis, palmistry or (for the dedicated) tarot, and offer to give a reading (context appropriate, just one more tool in your arsenal). Frame it as fun and not too serious. Women, even smart ones, go nuts over this sort of thing.

Oh, man, my grandfather was a literal con man, as in old-school, made his living foling people con man.
He taught my dad something called 'cold reading'.
When my dad was in HS and uni he'd offer to 'read palms' and use cold reading to amazing the women and get laid.
I don't think autists can do cold reading, though

See, while I said it's alright to be silent, sometimes it's alright to tell a story, if it's somehow about her. The "readings" framework is a pivot to telling a story.

Very few women have real interests. They exist, they are cool to hang out with, but they are rare. Also a shared interest is not enough. It's just a conversation starter.
Women will simply feel attracted to a guy and show interest in his interests because of this. What you are interested in is not that important. What's important is how you present it. Almost anything can be made interesting with the right tone, right associations and not overdoing it.

Don't be chasing after women who only care about sports and taylor swift or whatever, there's LOADS of girls who can meet you halfway to your autism and at least talk about video games in general and anime or whatever else.
