This shows your complete lack of understanding of their hardships, and people are well versed in recognizing these signs and basically knowing right off the bat that you won't really be accepting of them. It's basically like if you were talking about gay people and the second someone tells you they are gay, you say "As long as you don't hit on me, we are all good!" that's a homophobic tell,
I think that's incredibly extreme. See to me they have the same values I have. Honesty. I have very little time for anyone who lies to me. Autistic or not.. yet I have all the time in the world for honest people.

As for gay people I have gay friends and some Bi ones. Even lived with a gay guy at one point despite me being straight. And I don't think any of them have taken offence to a comment such as "as long as you don't hit on me we're cool" that's essentially the same as a gay person telling a straight guy "as long as you don't try to set me up with some bird we're cool"

It's a statement of mutual respect. You respect my sexuality I'll respect yours.... theres nothing homophobic or offensive in it.

Maybe that's just my autistic way of thinking....
