I just don't understand how somebody can use austistic as an insult and not look down on people with autism. Just like I don't think somebody can use gay as an insult and not be a homophobe.

That's because you are only looking at the world from your own view and set of standards, without being open to the fact that others have differing opinions and viewpoints. Instead of excepting it, it's easier for you to think those who oppose your point of view are in the minority and therefore are fine to be marginalized, which is why it is so easy to just assume they are racist/homophobic/misogynistic. 

Why would somebody use gay as an insult if they are not homophobic? Also I do think people should use whatever insult they want, I think it's just a little childish.
