Could it be that autism is in part the inability to think abstractly around social situations?

This feels approximately the correct shape to me.

So having autism, this doesn't seem right to me. I can think abstract circles around loads of allistic people on the topic of social situations, but that still doesn't really help me be good at social situations unless it's a situation I've had practice in.
