The other way around seems very common too. Autistics trying to understand the behavior of NTs by implicitly assuming the NTs think in ways similar to themselves, then expressing frustration when the observed behavior of the NTs doesn't match the inaccurately modeled expectation.

In fact I'm not sure this really has much to do with NTs and autistics. I think this sort of dynamic occurs all the time even between people who are very similar (but never identical!) to each other.
