There are two different things being discussed here, and it's creating a disconnect.
The first is, "Can autistic people admit they are wrong when they themselves know deep down that they are?"
The second is, "Can autistic people be easily convinced that they are wrong?"
I'd say most commenters are expressing a "no" to #2, but your replies retreat to #1. I.e. you say that once you know you are wrong, you find it easy to admit it. However, given the content of your article, I'd speculate that it is very difficult to actually convince you that you are wrong in the first place.
