Consider this, they were recorded in history as swashbucklers with no regard for social norms. Could it be possible that they simply weren't aware of any such rules?
Further, pirates were also very loyal within the crew but hostile towards higher authority, both of which are aspie traits.
Do you think their intelligence could have helped them in their quest to earn money without having to rely on social work?

Yes, I believe 'Occupational piracy' was one of the criteria in the very first DSM (-VIII)
