There is no excuse, we should expect in a civilised society with universal education that every person understands their personal responsibility - some might say duty - to behave well
It is both I think. With regards to neurodiversity, there are strengths and challenges. Improving environments aids people to access strengths. No one is completely unaffected by their environment and also they are not absolved of responsibility. That is true also of trauma.
Suicide amongst neurodiverse women is 9 times the average. That is a terrible statistic. That is also only the diagnosed ones.
I am not a fan of extreme positions. I am in favour of trying to see things from people’s point of view and improving environments where possible
I find it interesting that you claim civilised and personally responsible behaviour for conservatism. I'm not disagreeing with you, but I don't think it's necessary condition. I consider myself to be a (classical) liberal rather than a conservative but would still happily agree with the importance of personal responsibility. Isn't it part of the process of developing from a self centered child to a mature adult?

You are probably correct about liberalism and personal agency.
