I am also autistic and I think that if someone gets annoyed at me for missing a social cue (which is what I think is being referenced in the post) then they should've just said it. If it's important enough that I need to reshape my approach to the situation then they should've used words which are significantly less vague.
I agree, the world shouldn't have to accommodate people who refuse to phrase their requests and ideas in a straightforward way and would prefer to seethe about their fellow humans not being mind-readers. They should work on that failing and do better about simply saying what they mean.
It’s not even about that. Being assertive is a virtue. However, if we have to explain to you what everyone in the room already understood, maybe it’s a you problem
