Your point would be made just as well if not better with the first paragraph elided entirely. In general when you rewrite something so many times, it means you should say less

I was trying to solve two problems.
The first problem is for people not on the spectrum to recognize that I wasn't trying to speak to the OP as if they were a simpleton. Because for a person not on the spectrum the implied requirement is obvious.
The second problem is a message to people like myself on the spectrum, "This is a new social rule to add to your matrix for interpreting behavior."
Eliminating the first paragraph entirely would have decreased the likelihood of creating the new rule in spectrum people while simultaneously seeming like I was being snarky to non-spectrum people. It's entirely probable that I failed in both my goals in spite of this.
