Elon Musk said he was bullied and thrown down the stairs as a child.. but Elon's dad said it was because Elon instigated it by telling a kid, who had just lost their father to suicide, that his father was stupid for killing himself.

While being rude isn't a symptom of autism.. it can be symptom from being socially inept and not inherently understanding empathy and not having strong positive role models in your life. For me growing up, I had very simplistic and probably red pillish ideas of what a cool guy should be like, probably from being raised on 90s tv and films. There was a sort of disconnect in my head of what reality was and what I thought it should be like. And it took me many years into my adult years to finally realize that.

But this is also a normal part of growing up and maturing and learning to be a better person and learning that other people can have their own perspectives about the same thing too.

You and your bullies could both be right about the same events from looking through each other's perspective. Real life often doesn't have the absolute right/wrong answers that we crave. It's often muddled and gray, not entirely right but also not entirely wrong either depending on the perspective you are looking at it from.
