Better one-to-one work with autistic people who lack certain social skills that helps them engage with other people, autistic or otherwise, specifically using their special interest (if they have one) as a hook would be far more beneficial for human contact for that section of the autistic population. They're still human and deserve human-to-human contact, especially to talk about things they derive intense pleasure from.

Great solution!

First, we need to have the systems in place to identify those people. Second, we need to have the manpower to provide those people with one on one socialization.

Third, we can get rid of the AI chat bots.
