Does acting improve social and communication skills? I got fired at my last job cause boss thought I was an autist. So I've been impersonating my favourite scenes of tv shows and films and recording them to see how I look because I feel like I have to act to interact with normoids. Obviously I'm no hollywood star but I'm not thaaaaaaat bad. Does this translate into the real world?

That sucks. I think that the people of my company want to fire me for the same reason but they can't cause I'm still useful, at least for now. I think that if you learn how to act, it will work, but... What an evil world we're living in, that we have to interact with people we don't like just to survive.

No. I always got drafted as the male lead in school plays because I have serviceable acting skills and could be relied upon to remember not only my lines but the lines of the other kids as well should they need prompting. Never did a damned thing for my social skills.
"Fake it till you make it" is the right way to go though, it's just that actual acting techniques really won't help with that, acting actually comes across in person as very artificial which is what you're trying to avoid.
