Do non Autistics intuitively "know" how to act and communicate?

I read on this website that "Other people appear to know, intuitively, how to communicate and interact with each other, but Autistics do not", but believe this statement to be completely untrue in so many ways.

I do not believe that there is any one way to interact and communicate and nor do i believe anyone, even non autistic could possibly be thought of as someone that "knows" how to act and communicate in every given situation.

I believe making wrong statements like this just causes confusion.

Would do you think?

Do you think there are people out there that just intuitively "know" how to act and communicate? In that case, what happens when they come across someone that has more experience and is more intelligent than them?

    “It seems I have upset people on this forum.

    I apologise for this and it was not my intention.”

    So telling someone they are wrong despite them trying to help by giving advice that’s ok?

     By disagreeing with anyone who at least tried to explain who we are and why we struggle, you just disregarded every word any attempt st giving you an insight to how we struggle in our daily routines. 

    You are a being, your just not a very nice one, you still have not said why you need answers, are you just bored?

     If you really want to understand about autism then please open your mind not your mouth.

     Listen and hear our words before judging us, you have said you have difficulty in accepting us, you state psychiatric experts are wrong, what gives you the right to discount them?

     Your a taxi driver, I am a ground worker, I can only tell you what I think, I do not take kindly to anyone telling me I have no right to exist, go pick up a fair and tell them you are now an expert on autism, and that they aren’t all non verbal hand flapping individuals, they can also out talk you, correct your spelling and grammar. Tell you to take a hike and basically look after our own. 

    We are no better than everyone else maybe?

     Oh to think how lucky we would be to be considered as vitriolic as the majority. Can I have a NT achievement badge?

    I can adopt pretty much any type of character when I need to, right now I am being a defensive mean nasty neurotypical type, I work with many so have got it down to a fine art. Lol.

    Ah, here comes the humble apology.  Sorry I wound you all up.  I didn't mean it.

    Yeah yeah yeah... heard it all before...
