This is how people with Narcissistic Personality Disorder view others, and NPD is incredibly common among AGP troons (just as Borderline is common among pooners). Narcs are notorious for going into rages when any aspect of their false self is questioned and other people refuse to play along with them.
I can get behind the trooning-as-addiction idea, but I'd add that male Narcissists are more prone to autogynephilia, getting into an addictive spiral with it, and reacting badly when denied the "high" of validation.
In this particular guy's case, I see NPD, not autism. Narcs have a massive sense of entitlement, and see others as NPCs whose job is to play the role the Narc has assigned for them.
It's extremely common for NPD men (or even men with strongly narcissistic traits, who are not NPD cases) to unilaterally decide that they're attracted to a particular woman, and that she's going to be his girlfriend, whether she's shown any interest or not. If she refuses, they either blow up in a rage, or else see her as being in error, at which point they start a lot of manipulative bullshit to convince her that she's made a mistake and should want him.
If she persists in refusing him, eventually the rage will come out and he'll go into the devalue-and-discard phase, during which he'll attempt to do some sort of harm to her—if not physical violence, then at least damaging her reputation or humiliating her in some way. She has to pay for not playing the role he's assigned her, and have her defectiveness (which only exists in his mind) exposed.
I had to deal with one of these when I was young, and he was a real pain in the ass; he just could not wrap his head around my not being interested in him, and turned into a real little shit after all his attempts at love-bombing failed and he realized I wasn't going to play my pre-assigned role as his "soul mate." And, given other aspects of his personality, his social isolation, the way he regards women in general, and his utter lack of success with them, I'm really surprised he hasn't trooned out. I keep waiting to see a troon arc from him, but it hasn't materialized. Yet.
