I know a thing or two about autism, and Machiavellianism is very unlike autism since autists lack the wit and capability to lie. All they have is according to autist expert Simon Baron-Cohen is zero empathy.
Hannibal was somewhat autistic, meanwhile Scipio was a typical dudebro.
Are we talking real autism here or what? If you have a candidate at least give a rundown of typical autistic traits.

By autist it can be either full blown autist or light aspie.

His left arm was crippled and his mother hated him for that and tried to "cure" him by giving him "treatment" like shock therapy. Probably killed his psyche

You have no clue what autism is, are you autistic?

Maybe he wasn't so great, but holy shit if he that guy wasn't the most autistic of them all.
No autists ever made it to leadership roles without being born into it through monarchy.
Those that were born into were incredibly shit at it because despite what you see in anime you actually need to speak, be civil and be characteristic to be a leader. You need people to WANT to follow you not just listen to your every command just cause you said so.
To be a leader is more than just having good strategy, you need to be able to persuade, speak and interact with people. You deal with situations calmly without losing your shit because someone sad something mean to you.
