Autocorrect Double-space after end of sentence?

My keyboard sometimes doubles characters. Autocorrect or Spellcheck can fix all of those EXCEPT accidental double-spacing (space bar, not line spaciing). See that? I didn't type ii in 'spacing'; my keyboard did. When it double-spaces after a sentence, nothing flags or corrects it.

HOW do I add that correctiion (did it again) to Autocorrect?

      Good idea, except I think it may be my typing style. Many years of using manual typewriters have conditioned my fingers to hit keys hard. I think they cause an internal bounce sometimes. I have several keyboards, and the wired keyboard I use now is my favorite.
      Also, for most of my life, the rule has been two spaces between sentences. Only in the past few years have I become aware that the new rule is one space. So I know that, but my fingers sometimes forget.
