frege and russell. Plus even with no prereqs you should still use secondary sources

They are helpful, but not strictly necessary. The TLP is self-contained. I agree that it can be a bit cryptic, however. Max Black's 'Companion to the Tractatus' is a solid secondary source.

Is there an version which explains all concepts through an not autistic philosopher??

I read the first page and got the impression he used his own definition of words which he thought years about
but he doesnt tell me directly how he defines them
and is smug about it.

True. It's more a statement on my self-esteem then that I can't grapple with a difficult work or challenge without taking it personally and letting it get to my self-image.
