NTs excel at seeing the bigger picture as in the subcontext behind the context. However seeing the subcontext comes across as second nature for them seeing as their brains are neuro'typical', there's no guess work that needs to be done, unlike the aspie who instinctually takes whatevers been said as literal and then has to cognitively interpret the subcontext.
my brief model of language is as follows:
emotion -> intention -> language
emotion + intention = subcontext
language = context
but the thing i've always found strange is when you eavesdrop another conversation, the subcontext is obvious but when you're talking to another individual or group of people it becomes extremely difficult - so the aspie brain is definitely capable of doing it, its just presumably the aspie brain is hyper focused on being able to actually produce a coherent sentence and comprehend the context of what the other person has said instead of deciphering the meta subcontext of what the other person is saying.
ideally you'd have to train yourself to just become extremely good at subcontext guess work by pure cognition and hope you don't miserably miss the mark.
