There's no physical traits associated to Autism as far as I know.
Therefore, the beauty/ugliness ratio is the same as in the general population, that if we exclude fashion and grooming from the equation.
I think you're right that some can be homely and some can be attractive just like anybody else.
But the two traits I have noticed about many Aspies including myself is that we often look younger than we really are (more "innocent" if you want to call it that even though we are not all 100% innocent), and we all have this look to our eyes almost like a blank stare which I think comes from the fact that we don't make eye contact with people or read people very well.
Maybe some people find that attractive when you are already a good looking person?
Ok, so I did a quick research to find if there's any physical characteristics associated with Autism, I've found only one study:
Quote:
The presence of any of three abnormal physical features — an asymmetrical face, tufts of hair growing in the wrong direction or a prominent forehead — can help diagnose autism, according to a study published 6 June in the Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders1.
These don't sound like characteristics that the majority of people would find attractive at all.
