It might be yes but that's you, this thread is about the use of that word in general. Context offcourse matters.

Of course context matters. If someone walks up to a struggling autistic kid and starts telling them to quit being autistic, I'll punch the fucker myself.

 

But if someone it throwing a temper tantrum and someone tells him to quit being so damn autistic, then they should probably assess why someone is calling them autistic.

Actually, they should be wondering who this person is that is calling them autistic and if they're even qualified to assess and diagnose people with such a thing.
