Maybe a lot of things about human society just plain aren't intuitive. ^.^
And there are social cues neurotypicals use that help them catch up to society's expectations. But us autistic peopleses are oblivious to such things, just as others are normally oblivious to the fact that we really don't mean to be rude -- we just didn't know that we were supposed to do (X)!
And sometimes we're asked to do something we can't ... and we try to point out that we can't, but they're like "Everyone else can do this. Why can't you?" And it just leads to frustration all around.
