I've never seen any autistic person say they're not blunt, and nt people can't take bluntness but most of the time I meet blunt people and I sometimes get defensive and take it to heart, does this mean I'm not autistic and I'm an NT in disguise?

Depending on what additional information you've learned, Autistic thinking doesn't always mean one is blunt. You might have acquired certain thought-full-ness rules which help provide ways of thinking through a thing or you may appreciate communication in ways which help others respond if that is what you've been exposed to.
Saying there's an Elephant in the room by accident or because one is mistaken about what the conversation is, is one thing. Not saying it because our family always considers dignity or matters of consequence doesn't mean I don't see it, it just means I've learned tools to consciously engage or intentionally disengage.
Bluntness does not maketh the Autist :) It can happen for most when raised in difficult economic circumstances, when one has added needs, when one isn't exposed to virtues. Being blunt can be distinctly American, a cultural phenomenon, where children are under more pressure to be be forward or learn to dominate socially. But more, there are personality types which automatically re-think or analyse more, perhaps you've see the consequence of bluntness in a relative and made a very solid choice to not behave like them. Who knows...
