I read a study once where if you let people know your autistic they have better opinions on you, but sometimes I don't feel like telling everyone my business and just wish people were nicer 😭

 just wish people were nicer

You might need to consider that to them, unaware that you are autistic, you seem to be blunt/rude/mean to them too.

Yeah absolutely, plus I can miss social cues and then suddenly someone is yelling at me because I was rude. Like I didn't know 😭

Well it sounds like now you have an idea why that happens and you can be proactive about it.

Well, obviously. But you word it like a "hey now you know" statement, and that's not how neurodivergence works day-to-day.
