In order to get autologin to work, you have to manually edit /etc/alternatives/lxdm.conf and set 'autologin=' (of which was set to autologin=dgod, which isn't my username for sure) to 'autologin=yourusername'
It may be worth noting that /etc/lxdm/lxdm.conf had correctly set 'autologin=' to use my username, but autologin still didn't work. There is also a file named 'default.conf' in /etc/lxdm/ which is in fact just a symlink to /etc/alternatives/lxdm.conf
I searched around this site and I didn't find anyone having this problem-- but I've had this problem on all of my computers and even on virtual box (and I've tried different CDs and ISOs). I searched the web and found a page about LXDM, which lead me to my solution:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/LXDM#Autologin
In order to enable autologin open a terminal and type :
$ gksu leafpad /etc/alternatives/lxdm.conf
First change the setting 'autologin=dgod' to 'autologin=yourusername' as told above,
and don't forget to delete the '#' before 'autologin', unless this line will be ignored.
