I don't feel in my heart any understanding of their impulses but I can generally model their behavior well enough to predict

Pretty accurate. I don't understand why they get so repulsed to the degree they do, seems ridiculous to me. I know it's status signalling.

Yes but they have the potential to lose their social circles and potentially their careers.

Exactly, & understanding that this is why they feel repulsed is itself a problem which could make them stick out, they avoid meta-analysis

When I was younger I was constantly asking why saying certain things in public was a bad thing.Brutal honesty is probably an autistic thing.

Precisely my point.
