I have forked and modded this userscript due to youtube breaking stuff (You refresh the page, autoplay goes back on even if you turn it off). The autoplay got moved into html5 player, and the only way I can do it is with JQuery. My version would not allow autoplay to be turned on, it'll turn off again because of youtube bug above.

So, is there still a workable JS script as of the present?
