Their comments are making broad statements about autistic people and putting the onus of understanding solely on them, when communication is a two way street.

“Everyone” doesn’t have trouble understanding autistic people; other autistic people are more able to socialize with autistic people than neurotypical people are. Being a minority just means the people who are able to socialize well with autistic people are outnumbered by people who can’t/don’t/won’t.
