On the flip side, many autistic people have trouble understanding neurotypical people because they miss nuance in their communication that other neurotypical adults would find to be obvious.

Autism isn't some reasoning superpower, it's just a difference in processing stimuli.

This is also true the other way around however: neurotypical people miss nuance in autistics communication that other autistic adults would find to be obvious.

I would agree with your characterisation as a difference in processing stimuli.
