I think a large part of the reason that autistic people are treated poorly by society is that many autistic people either recognize that this is all performance, or don't recognize the importance of contextual performance. Generally speaking society reacts strongly to people who transgress against cultural norms and that reaction is often negative. An employee who argues with a boss or doesn't use defferential language will be perceived as insubordinate, combatitive, disrespectful, and so on
