Indeed. Also, aspies are the ones it's REALLY EASY to say direct "No" to because after interacting with them for just a very short time you get a sense that they prefer directness. I have had aspies who crossed boundaries they didn't know about or recognize but they pretty much immediately backed the fuck off when informed of it.
Of course I'm aspie-trending myself so I do tend towards directness by default, so it's possible that a lot of folks don't get the "ok I can be direct with this person" reaction quite as strongly as I do. Still, if they have any clue at all they should pick up SOMETHING along those lines.
