That's because you're taking it as literally as possible to where it's offensive regardless of context. Context matters more than the word itself. Also, people are more than able to disassociate a word from its original meaning to mean something else. Take your use of homophobe as an example of that. 😽

In what context does autistic not mean autistic? Like are there seriously people that use that word that don't know what autism is?

You can answer that yourself. 

People not knowing a definition has nothing to do with it.
