ASD people may be less likely to be affected by any social effect that is mediated by group attention. Even prior to group approval. The Bystander Effect is one example. Being enamoured by famous individuals is another. Fame being defined by the number of eyeballs that is on the object. Down to the guy who garners attention by singing in the local dive bar band, who lectures seniors on medicare coverage at the local assisted care facility, or who reads scripture at church once per month. A negative example would be famous popular criminals. This carries over to social causes and more.
