I don’t think neurotype has all that much to do with it. The illusion of transparency is a thing; so is the expert blind spot, or what I sometimes think of as “the professor fallacy” or “the promoted-to-management fallacy” — the mistake that just because I am good at doing X myself, that I must therefore be good at instructing people in how to do X.
What I was trying to say was that the capacity of neurotypicals to model other people’s minds is apt to be wildly overestimated, both for themselves and for other neurotypicals..
