Being a cat would be nice, but I'd be happy just to have half their self-advocacy skills.

Me: "Um, hey, I am sorry to bother you, but could you scootch your chair a teeny bit? I need to get to the table behind you. Okay, a bit more. Just a smiiiidge more." Holds breath and squeezes by. "Okay, thank you! Sorry again for bothering you."

Meanwhile,

Cat: Pounces onto pillow at 5am "Wake up, bitch. It's time for my breakfast. Now I'm going to meow repeatedly into your face until you comply with my demands."

The solution to that is to make it very clear, from the beginning that you do not negotiate with terrorists but you do acknowledge her/him and return kindness with kindness. There's a reason my wife's relationship with our cat involves a lot more being bitten and meowed at until demands are met than mine does.

Skill issue. Nobody's preventing you from doing that.

Yeah, autism does tend to create communication skill issues that can't easily be changed by things others do. Good observation!

My cat learned she can wake me up instantly by scratching my face and neck in an unfriendly manner.

Mine used to chomp the tip of my nose.
