I have no idea how to. I don't really show much body language usually and have often fancies people and not known how to show it. I mostly fancy more feminine people (usually, though not exclusive people identified as a woman) and the body language is haaaarrrrrrrrrd. :roll:

I get afraid of rejection, but I don't have the social skills for subtleties to test the water. I also wouldn't know how to say I fancy somebody.

Any advice?

this is a rough example:
say, "Hi." Smile. ask, "how are you?" compliment them on something about their choice of clothing if you feel so inclined. ask how their weekend was. follow up with questions or comments. if they are interested, they'll ask you about your weekend and then about something else to keep the conversation going.

"I love you" expresses attraction pretty well, just make sure you can meet the conditions of being in a good place at a good time and you actually mean it. If you don't mean it, don't bother saying it.

You didn't state the context so I have no idea what you're really talking about.
If it is love you're talking about then become totally aware. Is she even slightly interested?
Does she use you? Does she talk down to you? Does she belittle you? Does she avoid you?
If yes to the line above then LET GO.
If not... if she doesn't use you, talks nicely, doesn't belittle you, doesn't avoid you, smiles when you talk, seeks you out, and laughs at your jokes then..........
Don't let go, show her your heart, and be 100% honest.

How about saying, "I'm attracted to you"? Fair warning: once the cat is out of the bag, there is no going back. You have to accept the consequences.

I know this'll sound a bit crazy, pal, but I think the best way to show this is to smile, talk and, even if it's for a very short amount of time, make eye contact..
*ducks to avoid shoes thrown at her*
If you really like this certain person, and feel like you can trust him/her, then you should have less trouble keeping eye contact. This is a very important and stunning move and that's why it's kinda hard. But it works perfectly every time. Extra points if s/he knows you have ASD, and knows how hard it is for us to make eye contact usually. S/he should get the hint. Good luck, pal.

Too wordy, and being direct like this may creep a girl out. If you can muster it, just ask them out. This usually sends a clear enough message that you're interested in them. If you tell someone "I like you," what do you honestly expect to happen?
