Since leadership requires lots of human <-> human interactions, involving empathy and other illogical behaviors, are you sure this is the role you should seek?

This is an honest question. Suppose someone with not-so-good skills in arts wants to pursue a career as an artist, s/he would have quite a steep learning curve ahead.

Speaking as someone on the autism spectrum (though I don't like to identify myself this way) having leadership experience, my personal life improved after I was able to detach myself from people management.

There are lots of career paths available which skip people management.
