Yes, emotional awareness is a useful tool that an autistic person lacks. Without it the entire social game gets very confusing - you have less direction, you don't really sense when to stop and when to go on, when to switch behavior to a more productive one and in general it is like an impairment you notice you have especially next to "normal" others. That however, becomes a non-problem when the social interaction happens takes place between autistic people.
