I think after looksmaxxing, moving to a foreign country might be the next best option for NDcels
At its core, being ND means you’re a foreigner of your own environment, by default. The reason you get mistreated is your uncanny mix of acting strange/wrong despite a deep familiarity with your environment, which combined comes off as incompetent, inept, and creepy. However, being a foreigner might actually be able to replace your sense of autism. The expectation for you to act 100% in line with your community, which is neurochemically impossible for you to meet, is removed. This is why I think moving to a very different culture could actually be a cheat code for even the most helpless cases. Instead of being seen as a loser autist, you become the mysterious foreigner, which even with its own disadvantages will still net you 100x more understanding and dignity.
