Is this a poor taste joke? It might be considered offensive to at least two different groups of people.

As a German living close to the Netherlands, all Dutch people I've met were lovely.

Maybe if you think making jokes about autistic people is acceptable the problem was your behaviour.

Not at all. I’m making the observation that having very direct negative opinions expressed is very good for autistic and other people who have issue picking up social cues. I wonder if it’s detected at a lower rate in some of your countries.

This is coming from a person on the spectrum himself. I see the advantages but also I really dislike some of the social standards.

Autistic doesn't equal rude. I can see why people were rude to you though..
