Likewise.

Are you (David, that is) on the autistic spectrum? I'd be inclined just
to put something minimal on the lines of "I am on the autistic spectrum,
and if I come over as extremely blunt please forgive me. Please take me
as you find me, and take my posts for the constructive criticism they
are meant to be".

I'm borderline on the spectrum myself, and yes it can make life
difficult with people who don't know you ...
