Their comments are making broad statements about autistic people and putting the onus of understanding solely on them, when communication is a two way street.

“Everyone” doesn’t have trouble understanding autistic people; other autistic people are more able to socialize with autistic people than neurotypical people are. Being a minority just means the people who are able to socialize well with autistic people are outnumbered by people who can’t/don’t/won’t.

I don't have a horse in this race, but this is untrue really, majority does not imply correctness, occam's razor just does not apply to hundreds of individuals with their own possibly independent complex motivations and circumstances. There are plenty of things most people are just wrong about and a select few are correct about etc.

This misses the point completely and kinda pisses me off. If you go around all day constantly BEING A FUCKING AUTIST you're gonna find out that everyone seems just as retarded to you as you seem to them. It's not a fucking matter of diction, dickhead! ;) (sorry, the alliteration was too tempting there, you're not a dickhead) The problem is that for the autist, every conversation tends to be a serious conversation, because it quickly becomes evident that people get pissed off at us in conversation, which makes us really bad at casual conversation.

It's not a matter of diction, it's a matter of literally being an alien consciousness in a world of, frankly, monkeys. Thanks ahead of time for the downvotes for my honesty.
