The phrasing may be neutral but the decision to use it in the particular context was not, and that conveyed social meaning of the type that I felt it appropriate to assert opposition to. (A thought that I recall crossing my mind was "Hmm... this is getting dangerously close to 'non-neurotypical person' being used where 'retard' once may have been, before that became a politically incorrect move.")
I am perhaps less confident of the Autism diagnostic capability of the memes in question. In fact, I might consider the fact that the person follows OvercomingBias at all to be stronger evidence!
Neither of those offends me.
