Anyone who is different gets targeted.It's a thing called "discrimination", you might've heard of it, it's been around for a while.

It's nothing new really, it's just the flavour of the month/year/decade.MoronIdiotImbecileFeeble-mindedMongoloid/MongSpastic/SpazDowns/DownieAspergers/SperglordScope-KidAutism/AutistThe euphemism treadmill rolls on and on but people will always take the new word to describe those who are different/less able and use it as an insult/slur against those that they don't like/want to mock.Sure it's a shitty thing to use as an insult, but that's kinda the point of insults.I wouldn't suggest anyone gets bent out of shape over that sort of thing, but if you see someone mocking another person for having autism as opposed to acting stupidly then that's actually something you could get riled up over.

It's such an explosive sounding insult like fuck. 'You fucking SPASTIC!' People know you mean business when you call someone a that. Brilliant stuff. Trick is to use it like a fine salt, not too much, and only to enhance flavour.
It's not like they can help having autism, and being mean and hostile to people with autism doesn't significantly more harm than it does to neurotypical people. Remember, the person who faunded modern physics (well einstein replaced his theories but they still work) was autistic.
