I think I found out why Notch sold Minecraft.

If my child asked a group of adults how many of them had autism, ... I'm not going to finish that sentance.

Possibly the kid was autistic himself and wanted to relate to the developers of a game he likes a lot on that issue. The question was not malicious. I find the rreaction to the question to be much more disgusting to be honest, as if autism is some horrible blight that you shouldn't ask people about. 

What if they just didn't know how to deal with that question? What if one or more of them was autistic, and didn't know how to express the answer off the cuff or just didn't want to make it public? What if it touched on something so personal that it made them feel just as awkward as some of the other kids in that video?

Disgusting? No. Awkward, yes, but that was the whole point of the video - a compilation of awkward moments.
