I'd agree that's an extremely cynical way of saying it. I don't disclose it to people I'm not generally close with. And I have never disclosed it at the precise moment of disagreement. It's always been a separate conversation. I have had plenty of disagreements with people who don't know I'm on the spectrum. And if I wish to not disclose that to them, then it's my responsibility to do my best to make sense of the interaction. I may do that alone, or I may do my best to ask more questions to try and understand what they're saying. Or I may speak to the symptom before asking for clarification; "I sometimes miss people's intent or subtext. Can you be more specific?" Disclosing it to those that are closer to me provides context for future interactions that I'm not trying to be difficult and that I may genuinely not understand what's being presented. It's their choice how to adjust future interactions with me.
