> Your assumption that being autistic somehow completely disqualifies one to speak competently to others...
As anyone can see, I did not write that.

I think what makes this stuff difficult is that the same word can trigger wildly different responses.
As an example, I've been working from Ireland for US multinationals for a while now. In Ireland, the word stupid means bad or crap but doesn't have a massive emotional valence.
In the US based tech side however, it was literally the worst thing one could say, I suspect because people were identifying with their ideas.
Same word, multiple different meanings lead to communication problems.
"Theory of mind" means, among other things, having a good mental model of what other people know and don't know.
Obviously, without understanding what piece of information the other person is missing, it's very hard to explain it to them.
The OP overstated things, but it isn't completely wrong to conclude the basic idea from your above statement.
Also, the OP did not say you wrote it, so maybe being less pedantic would help the situation.
