neopronouns are pretty much "custom pronouns"
they can be used by anyone of any gender.
Some general guidelines are: No slurs especially if you can't reclaim them, no social/political/human rights movements ex the "BLM" 'pronouns' only used by trolls, and just generally don't be an asshole.
Although people who use neopronouns are often transgender/nonbinary, There are cisgender people that use them too. Pronouns don't always equal gender and therefore you can be cis or trans and use neopronouns.
While neopronouns may be used by neurodivergent, usually autistic people or people with adhd, neurotypical people use them as well.
there are also neurodivergent (usually autistic people or people with adhd) and neurotypical people that find these pronouns confusing, and I'd like to mention how most neopronoun users have at least one set of 'regular' pronouns, so as long as you're not purposely misgendering people or just saying they're confusing because you're trying to be a dick, then you're fine.
if you don't like someone's neos then either ask for another set, or just don't interact with them.
If you'd like to try some out for yourself, a good site is pronoun dressing room.
If you're learning english/non native speaker, don't worry about these too much, you're unlikely to meet someone who uses neopronouns and most people who use neos also use a set of "normal" pronouns, like he/him, they/them, or she/her.

p1: sup i'm name and i use he/him, ros/roseself, lav/lavenderself as neopronouns.
p2: oh it's nice to meet you. i'm name and i use she/he. How would you use those neos? I've never seen/heard them before.
p1: well, you could look it up if you wanted, on pronoun dressing room. But Because im in the mood to, i'll give you an example!
"He was having fun. His paintings are really cool. He should be proud of himself."
"Ros was having fun. Rose's paintings are really cool. Ros should be proud of roseself."
p2: oh cool. It may take time to get used to, but for now I'll try, and i'll use the he/him pronouns until i get a hang of those pronouns.
p1: awesome! thanks.
then they continue talking about interests and or small talk
