To be fair to our autistic women and enby comrades, Its pretty much always been autistic men, but still.
You have no idea how many times I've been like "hey dont say that, thats ableism/a slur" and them be like "get over it/grow a spine/just words" and when I confront them about the fact that i'm autistic they'll say "I am too, so what?".
Just look at my post history right now. There's one I'm arguing with right now.
it happens over and over.
Oh God, this line jogged a memory. On the Something Awful forums, there's a user named Pick who became infamous for posting vile and dehumanizing shit about autistic people despite being on the spectrum herself. Being reminded of her inspired me to go back and dig up some of her quotes, and wow, they are... certainly something.

"He's autistic, he will make you cry on the way home from work because you love him and he doesn't give a shit about you at all. You'll cry and scream and punch your steering wheel because you wanted him to love himself and care for you and he doesn't even understand that concept"
"Can autistic men even regret hurting girls? Can they experience regret towards their treatment of other people at all? I've wondered."
"I have autism and my self-loathing is immense and if other people don't hate themselves for it they will kill. ... i despise the acceptance of people like myself."
"The tragedy of autism isn’t the autismo and how sad it is for them, it’s for a world that has to deal with someone who is such a pain that basically no one can like them. That’s why the appropriate response to your diagnosis is deep shame and a compulsion to change, a lot."

That one in particular is like two steps shy of how the Nazis justified Aktion T4
