The limits have less to do with speech and more to do with physical safety. Doxxing you on a website of people who dislike you is dangerous. Saying you're acting autistic doesn't.

 

And yes, anyone who displays symptoms of autism, though it specifically refers to Asperger's-style behaviors.

though it specifically refers to Asperger's-style behaviors.
