People with autism have different personalities and eggsperiences, so I don't think that one is similar to another only because they have autism. I don't think regular people and professionals would think so either.
I find many autistic people harder to relate to than neurotypical people. There is only one place in the world where I have found myself amongst a decent number of people quite similar to me.
Sometimes, I wonder why there are not more people more similar to me on wp, like others who say that don't care about the things I don't care about and don't get upset or hurt feelings, I wonder if it is because they are naturally that different from me or if they have been socially conditioned into something that seems quite unrelatable to me.
Attention to detail.
The higher the attention to detail (or processing of) the greater the differences will seem.
About upset or hurt feelings, I think it may actually be a misinterpretation of feelings.
One trajectory route: (apparent) rudeness may seem like hostility which may seem like a threat which may generate fear.
If from someone
previously unknown then it may seem like a new threat which would need to be assessed and integrated into... I guess, one's worldview. Which may have been previously 'balanced.' Now it's 'out of balance' (because of the new 'threat') and one needs time to reestablish threat and safety vectors.
By balanced maybe I mean stable, understood, coped with, or something.
If this came from
a 'friend' or other safe person, perhaps it feels like a betrayal and again a destabilizing effect for a time.
Threats don't have to be 'real and present' for one's body to react to it.
Also, often, verbal 'hostility' comes as a warning sign of imminent physical violence unless one can manage to deescalate it quickly.
This is a stressor. ...Upset

And/or it may also have something to do with fairness and publicly (however larger or small) perceived status.
Being or feeling 'wronged' is one core aspect of anger.
Sometimes people say they're "upset" when they're afraid, and sometimes people say they're "upset" when they're angry.

I think you may have more feeling connection with how others view you than you may immediately notice.
Here's
my clue.

That's cute and punny which makes me think you do care that people see you as nice; or harmless; or nonthreatening; or even likeable.
Otherwise it would be a
completely illogical thing to do and surely your spell checker noticed it.
At first it
annoyed me, until I had a visual of them leaking out of a plastic egg thingy, then I laughed.
How did that^^ (true) sentence first make you feel?
