To my knowledge, that is actually a thing. People with Autism, as well as people with ADHD, tend to be a bit better at some things that people without usually struggle with for one reason or another. Basically just down to differences of how their brain works with vs without Autism/ADHD. And due to those differences being all you've ever known in your experience, it's hard to know what might make something easier for you, as it just comes naturally, while other things might be completely unnatural to you compared to someone without. I can't exactly recall anything specific without doing some searching, but doing so would probably give some answers.

Also, side point but I only thought about it a bit later despite it being your first sentence. Something also common with Autism is that it's significantly easier to tell when someone else has it when you do as well, and vice versa, where people without Autism might not ever even tell unless they're maybe more familiar with it.

I'm honestly surprised I've not seen anyone make that connection for a joke, thanks dyslexia, it's pretty funny.

Totally not completely cursed, and those example sentences absolutely didn't make me regret being literate.

Ah yes, even in the dark future, furries are making super advanced and useful technologies to be more furry.

"Furry" you say? Wait, do I need to have a drum set to make that joke better? Because it doesn't quite land right, unlike that cat.

Now excuse me while I age like an old computer, because I can't process most of this... sentence?

Or just your own tail, like a fluffy pillow, but anywhere.

Yep, that actual chance at learning something instead of being blindly insulted anyway is such a refreshing change.

As an Asexual, can confirm, they're just making a joke with a text based stutter, not referring to Asexual or Agender, such as in "LGBTQIA+" that generally refers to multiple things under the "A".

In the latter case, it's left open ended for inclusivity, rather than arbitrarily excluding other things by specifying.

As for how the original comment could possibly be more inclusive, it's harder to say exactly, but I can think of something like "Ladies, Gentlemen, and everyone else", but I'm not exactly great at fancy words... or words in general... but I try my best.

I only recently managed to convince the more reasonable and less religious of my two parents that it's pretty likely I have Autism and ADHD, given the extensive amount of signs of it throughout my life.

Though the rest of "me" I've had to keep hidden unless I want the more religious and less reasonable one of them to have a field day due to their regressive beliefs. Because, you know, being a Autistic ADHD Asexual Aromantic sort-of-gender Apathetic Furry, (I'm probably missing something here) or AAAA as I sometimes comedically shorten it to, doesn't exactly line up with their ideals about many things.

Also, thought I'd comment from here for this, but I've surprisingly adjusted pretty well despite all that I've been through. My main struggle recently has been dealing with stress from it, and the Autism and ADHD not making that any easier on me.

But overall, I'm proud of myself, I've continued going through something as horrible as all this and still keep bettering myself despite it all.
