I agree. I'm on the spectrum (PDD-NOS) and I can be a dick, but that is just me being a dick. I can also be clueless and if people tell me what I did was problematic I will listen, think about it, apologize if necessary and add it to my long list of things to pay attention to. I have my coping mechanisms (I always wait 5 minutes before posting a message; if unsure I ask somebody to read it over, etc.)

Autism is a lot like being a tourist in a strange country where you barely speak the language. You will make mistakes, but you will listen to what the locals have to tell you and try to avoid being deliberately rude.

I really like your analogy there about language. I've noticed not all people with Asperger's, high functioning Autism go to the same trouble as you do. Sometimes people around them will put up with things that aren't really socially acceptable or appropriate, because they feel the person can't help being the way they are, whereas in fact they would be more helpful if they tell them, as you say.

Also I've felt sometimes that if a person online has posted about their condition, then I experience them being obnoxious, I tend to just back away rather than engage with it.
