Is being less attractive and on the spectrum natural selection playing out?

So you already have barrier of looks to overcome which your usually rejected for but then you have the difficultly with life as part of being on the spectrum. When you think about dating and ultimately a family legacy it makes me think of natural selection.

Being on the spectrum only means that you, as an individual, need to work on a neuropsychological item that may be hampering social skills. It doesn't incapacitate you from building social skills.

If you want to claim "natural selection" you'd have to explain why so many fellows who DON'T fall on the spectrum still can't exhibit basic manners or social skills.

Meanwhile, "attractive" is subjective... so it's just a matter of finding someone who appreciates YOU. Period.
