Do people think mistake your traits for rudeness?

I also remember one episode in particular from my childhood, where I arrived at school and was called selfish by a teacher because I had not picked up on that there was going to be a bake sale for charity that day and hadn't brought any money.

This exact situation happened to me in high school.
 
Most of the times, my parents think that when I try to 'logicalize' the conversation by giving several arguments and remarking 'OBVIOUS' things that they said, I am being harrassing to them; even though my only intention is to be nice, but in my own way

All the time.
Even by family members who know I am on spectrum. Always the struggle.

Same here . I don't think I am particularly antisocial but know I have been perceived that way . I find certain social situations / encounters uncomfortable so I minimize them when I can .
