Not that I'm using autism as an insult, just that the outlandish ideas executed with rigorous adherence to their own internal logic and little regard for emotional realism, that smacks of autism spectrum to me.

Some people would go with magic -or- aliens, but this writer went for both...

Martian: Here Superman, in exchange for saving my world, have this magic perfume that will slowly de age you into a toddler, then wear off and restore you to your proper age.
Superman:....This is a regift isn't it?
Martian: It may be a regift yes.

Use it to screw with Lois Lane? Use it to screw with Jimmy Olsen? Use it to screw with Lana Lang? Use it as part of some overly elaborate plan to baffle and confound an enemy he easily could have defeated with a single punch? Use it to screw with Lois Lane *and* Lana Lang AT THE SAME TIME?!

Early on, Clark is trying the whole superhero thing, but is aggravated by this rabid bloodhound/stalker Lois Lane. Trying to protect your elderly parents with a secret identity is tough even with someone like Lane.
Then Clark gets a brainwave.
He allows Lois to pursue him - because she's a perfect decoy.
Loud, brash and as delicate as a bull in a china shop. Perfect to lure away gangsters and supervillians alike.
So he lets Lois pursue her increasingly more insane hijinks - she crossed the 'pursuing the story that will rank me along with Bernstein and Woodward' to 'demented stalker' long ago - because his enemies think she means more to him than she actually does.
Of course he saves her - he saves everyone. But he's not going to lose any sleep if one day she bites off more than she can chew.
Meanwhile, unexceptional but hardworking mild mannered reporter Clark Kent gets himself a fiancee, a wife, a family in relative peace. Because his decoy is hard at work.

This aspect of the Weisinger era is why we're not going to see someone trying to reconcile all versions of Superman like Morrison attempted with Batman.
