Seeing it this way, I agree that Viridian is a bit pushy and creepy on her part, though I still believe she is trying to be nice, probably in order to gain back Neons favor.
However, no one has a reason to say that Neon is not reacting sour or that this is caused by Neons autism, when it's clearly that Neon is sour and just wants nothing to do with Viridian.
The funny part about these discussions is that generally, 80% of the time, people are discussing what the character is even feeling/thinking and what the context behind it is, because it generally always seems to lack context or PK draws/writes interactions so badly, they do not come across as how she wants them to.
That's why Neon in her eyes is that clumsy lil autistic dork with a tacked on stroke of genius in the lab, when nothing that is ever actually shown of Neon brings this across. PK always tries to show things one way, when her art and text go a completely other way.
All that would've been needed for this scene was to show Neon more bumbly and nervous about Viridian and less annoyed and snappy, if "sour" wasn't what she was going for.
PK can't even decide if Neon's supposed to be bumbly and nervous or uncomfortable and annoyed. She goes from unambiguously shooting Viridian's offer down and scowling like she stepped in something unidentifiably brown to stuttering and acting like Jupet not wanting to talk to people is the problem. If "gross, pushy ex" was what PK was shooting for, a third "YES. FINE" would have gotten the picture across pretty clearly.
