Autism and self-improvement link?

[Poppy98]

I wonder if, being often in the position of having to socially-problem-solve, ponder, and learn; people with autism are more prone to continually improve upon themselves consciously

(btw I think this is relatively rare in the NT community aside from when navigating a new pathology such as PTSD or panic attacks).

I think it depends on the individual and isn't necessarily any different for autistic people than it is for the general population. The only difference I can see is that often when autistic people learn something they learn it completely and develop levels of understanding that most people simply aren't capable of.
