I don't know if you can induce creativity, but going out and experiencing life can be inspiring
Wouldn't recommend fantasy books or weaboo trash. Develop your own creativity through your perspective on life experiences

besides from what the others said you could train yourself, just get a sketchbook and pencil, and try to draw something everyday even for only half an hour a day (it doesn't have to be pretty or even original as long as you make it your own) after a few months you will be way more creative for sure.
i didn't even know that was a thing, a few years ago i wanted to make a logo for myself so i started drawing very small random shapes on an old notebook and before i knew it i was filling an entire page every couple days with original designs, now i have around 100 pages filled with crazy designs and lots of unique shapes, illustrations and lettering or typepography attempts.

Works great

Autism is not at all creative.

The only way to improve is to literary just keep working. Keep materializing whatever idea comes up into your head. Don't think about how much you're borrowing from someone else, it'll just hold you back.

Eventually, after years of creating, and learning different techniques, history, etc., your mind will slowly create a style of its own.

Smoke a bunch of weed
Sleep deprivation
Grab a pencil scribble violently and that scribble into a recognizable image
Any one of these should work

steal shit
keep stealing shit

Not entirely true, Pokemon was created by an autistic man

Creativity, at its core, is applying past experiences using a technique to create a new product. Innovation occurs when you successfully apply creativity.

There are two main ways to improve:
1. Get more experiences so you have a larger base of ideas to start with (Generally builds as you progress through life, but you can absorb more through books, art, music, etc.) I believe this is frequently called your 'mental library' in visual art.

2. Find new techniques by analysing other designers (How objects are placed, why they are placed).

Great anons, thanks a lot for the advice!

Fine arts, music, poetry. Healthy way.

Weed, hard drugs, alcohol, sex. Unhealthy way.

Read books, have experiences out of your routine

Smoke some gas and pop some tabs

Do shit.
Do lots of different types of shit.
Make your own typeface, design some furniture, make a poster, make a magazine. Go to a life drawing class. Design a house for yourself.

Design experiences bleed into each other. What you learn from doing one thing will help you in another thing. You will reconceptualise your own proccesses and how they relate to what you usually work with. Creativity isn't some magic talent you are born with. It is something you can cultivate. Collect references you like and analyse how they done and why they are done and why you like them.

Go outside

Which I never feel like doing so that's why I'm shit
