If they wanted me to follow some rules that I'm apparently expected to know to make everyone comfortable, maybe they should've taught me that in school instead of trigonometry -_-

Certainly can teach both. Math is not the problem school systems have and yet are always the target of abuse.
Maybe additionally, trigonometry is actually pretty useful. Learning capacity isn't that limited, it's motivation and attention that's constantly out of stock.
No, that would be your parents‘ task.
I used to think like this but let's be honest, it's not a fair shake. Social services should be somewhat capable of making up for poor, abusive, or absent parenting. School being the one social service children are practically guaranteed to interact with, it seems like a fair approach.
What if your parents are autistic as well? Mine were.
Even if they taught you that in school, you still wouldn't listen.
huh what sorry I spaced out for a sec what did you say

In this scene, everyone is annoyed at Homer because he put on his weird music. “Don’t play your weird music“ is definitely one of those rules I keep defying
just never be around people and you won't have this issue
works great
Is this an ADHD thing too? I thought this was an autism thing
It's a "a lot of things" thing. Generally, the taboo around such behavior is just a symptom of a lack of empathy.
Just about any person could go into a panic while in a state of stress and do something irrational, and just about everyone does at least a few times. In a shared moment of stress, you might see more empathy because "any of us could have panicked/froze/etc.," but if it's just you, "something's wrong with that person."
There's a lot of overlap, but it's an autistic thing. ADHD had no effect on social skills.
Uhhh I have ADHD it 100% impacts my social skills. There's a night and day difference between when I'm medicated and when I'm not.

This is definitely not an adhd thing
You can achieve the same effect through different ways. Just because ADHD people happen to break those rules it doesn't mean they have to break them for the same reasons as autistic people for example.
That's social behaviors, like talking over others. It's not lack of picking up social cues which is that "unwritten rule" your post is mentioning.
