This is interesting and as an autistic it suggests a new option. If this holds out then “taking a chill pill” is likely to tap into and develop those missing social capabilities. And maybe one aspect of it is triaging some of the arousal away so that the remaining functions remain operational.
One could aldso wonder whether co-occurance with depression is because the brain finds use and local optima with the passivity that comes with that. Some people might also try to do the minimum amount of autistic behaviour to make by such as keeping your gaze far enough that you are only panicing and not in terror (with maybe goal of trying to appear as neurotypical as possible). But if it is tought as overstimulation the proper responce would be to go to the most flow-like state, which would mainly be that the more you indulge the aversion the better one tends to do. So instead of being in panic, being stressed would be prerable and even further preference to be relaxed. Which in practical term would be that instead of finding social situations stressful, stop applying the one-size-fits-all shelf ready solutions and find a way to be comfortable in them even if it means your existence is a statistical outlier. You don’t do better the lesser your offset is from the median.
I don’t think the “on the fly” adjustement is fairly characterised as being hyperparameters. That is more like tuning regular parameters. Imagine you have car that veers to the left. You can still use it to straight if you in fact turn constantly to the right when you in fact want to go straight. The end result is very similar to no veering but your maximum turn left and maximun turn right are effected. If the situation calls for a very different balance that is far from the hyperparameters optimal then having only 5 or so levers for neurotransmitters the balance is kep int a differnt way (say that you off-set your steering being veering by your brakes being opposite veering so you constantly brake despite applying throttle)
