Well said, I agree with all that as well, and would also add that Autistic people are... generally more poorly motivated by appeals to conformity... because if an Autistic person has knowledge of how social / cultural standards factually differ throughout time and space and different communities... they just know that to a large degree, all social norms are arbitrary, and vary greatly.
Thats not to say that they do not have understanable basis in a specific area or group's culture... but it just is the case that 'conformity' means different things to different people, that there literally is no universal and objective way to 'be normal'.
