TC: I am in support of your view. (See also the H-19 video above for the 'old school' and proven [for those aircraft at that time] autorotational teaching method).
However, I am sympathetic to HC's perspective in that (I think) we may (to some extent) be talking 'autorotational semantics' in that even among us 'collective first' types .. there is (or so I believe) a recognition that cyclic control is 'intuitive' and which may translate into simultaneous or even 'cyclic first' responses according to the specific profile of the craft's entry into autorotation .. if indeed that makes sense.
One thing is certain (as several have pointed-out) and it is that there are certain scenarios in which one would decidedly not apply aft cyclic first. The same however cannot be said with regard to pitch.
