you might be overthinking a bit. I don't think there is anything wrong with having gnomes whos culture is based on some autistic traits. Like maybe it's common for them to just leave mid-conversation or they see it as an insult if you make eye contact. That sounds like a fun idea.
Just don't make autism their only trait or be afraid of not including an idea because it doesn't fit the autism stick.
As others here have said it might be more about how you do it, not if it's gnomes or any other species. The only thing I really associate with gnomes would be a low body height.
