>How easy is this shit for autists?
I was an adjunct lecturer at a university; one of the best teachers I have known anywhere was an utterly off-putting sperg. He had no social skills at all and was unpleasant to attempt to socialize with. But he was great in the classroom and delivered accurate information very effectively.

Do you actually/literally have autism? The autistic teachers I have met, aforementioned guy especially, were good at memorizing class lists. But I don’t think it’s essential if you can’t pull it off.

>I'm literally just a white guy who speaks English. Is it that easy?

Teaching English is really easy to do badly, and at least as hard as any other job to do well. Being a white native speaker (just about always with a degree nowadays, which I hope doesn’t burst any inexplicably enduring fantasist bubbles) is still enough to land work in many markets. But to survive for any length of time, you have to learn how to teach, at the barest minimum. To make a career of it (and obviously that isn’t your goal), you both have to know (or learn) how to teach and have real deep knowledge of the nuts and bolts of English (and language and grammar and linguistics in general) that aren’t inherently obvious just because you are a native speaker.

>tl; dr—social skills can help, really detailed knowledge of English grammar helps more, it’s possible to score work with neither.
