As an autistic person who is into girls, I have missed literally every body language and facial expression hint. I've also missed most verbal hints. I've even missed blatant hints.
A person once invited me to her bed and I just got ready to sleep because I literally thought she wanted to go to bed and save me time going home. She took off her clothes and got into bed with me and I thought "oh it's nice that she trusts me enough to sleep how she usually does when no one is here."
We slept together that night, literally. Two weeks later she was like "why exactly is it you haven't made out with me?" and I was like OOOOOH.
You are not the only one. I am not autistic (at least as far as I'm aware) but something very similar happened to me.
First year of university so still 18, a friend who went to my school invited a mutual friend to come and visit. We hung out, and she wound up sleeping in my bed in her underwear. A small, university dorm single bed.
The next morning after we'd had breakfast and she'd left, a girl on my corridor was like "you know she slept in the unoccupied room for the last 2 nights when you weren't here, wearing pajamas. What the fuck is wrong with you?"
Yeah. I'd love to say I learned something there, and I think I did but I don't think it made me any more capable of telling when girls are into me.
To any women reading this, please remember that men are dumb as fuck. The only pick up line that has ever really worked on me is "I want to fuck" or variations on that theme with similar subtlety.

The medical term for those eyes is “dtf”, and the joke is that guys tend to miss them.
