How do you progress on the benchpress when you are too autistic

Then you git gud and tell yourself you won't fail and get that bar back up no matter what.

Lowering 1plate to your chest isn't a death sentence. Learn how to fail, then progress.

1. Gain weight, bench benefits most from it
2. What program are you doing, chances are that SS bench volume (provided you do SS) doesn't cut it for you, try something new like one of Greg Nuckol's free programs
3. Maybe your technique is also lagging, film yourself and read some bench guides you find on net (Mark Bell has good videos and Nuckols released a guide recently).

higher volume is fine and you also don't need to go to absolute failure . you should get a sense for whether you can do another or not, and if you're not sure, rack it

Dips. So basically do SL with assistance work.

Go for a higher rep count with moderate weight. Eg 8-10 reps at 60-75% of your max

bench in a rack with safeties you fucking retard

Ask for spot. Just ball up and do it. You should only need a spot on your third set anyway.

You don't need a spot.
Have you ever pinned yourself with the bar? It's not scary at all and it's easy to remove yourself from the situation.

Voila! You are now not limited by your autism!

If I ever lift heavy enough, would it be possible that doing the roll of shame would injure me?

over 2 plates yeah you mught get injured. Under that, nothing more than minor bruises as a reminder of your failure.

oh shit it seems like I will stay at 2 pl8 for the rest of my life senpai

I never ask for spots because I can always tell when I won't be able to lift the bar up by myself on the next rep, so I just stop there. I'm not some gym expert or anything, been going for like a year and a half. It's not like people help you with your last rep on other lift either, I don't see the point in going to failure.

Unless you're egobenching stupidly then I don't think so until you're advanced, like 3pl8 or something.
If you can gently lower it onto your chest then you can roll of shame it.
