If you haven't seen an aspie thats aggressive and disagreeable, then you haven't seen an aspie outside his/her comfort zone.

Salary negotiation is outside their comfort zone; yet it doesn't seem to help.

Because negotiations (thus salary negotiations) aren't about spreading disagreement, but about making an agreement with which both sides can cope.

Thus if you add the personality trait "aggressive and disagreeable" to a typical aspie, you'll get a termination of negotiation instead of a strongly suboptimal (for the aspie) negotiation result.
