Don’t mistake someone trying to encourage positive behavior as bully. Just because you have one of these behaviors doesn’t mean you correctly self-diagnosed yourself with autism either
Upholding the hegemony of neurotypicality as the “acceptable” way to be, and the encouraging of neurodiverse people to mask their (fine, unharmful) behaviours. Masking which actively harms them.
All this does is promote ongoing ableism. I beg that you read something about the experiences of autistic people and come to understand how marginalized and harmed they are by this continual shaming of these traits. Traits that are not harmful, or even uncommon. They’re just different, and less normalized.
Positive according to whom? What’s positive for you may be destructive for me.
Which ones of these are bad behavior?
None of them are exactly bad behaviors. Just encouraging trying new things and effective self regulation as positive behaviors, is my point

Thank you for your perspective, my intent isn’t to cause harm, so I will take your comments to heart
