A good dissection of bullshit “science” about vaccines - this dissection also highlights good general points to think about when applying critical thinking to any such out of left field “scientific” claims on the internet or those blathering dolts on TV news segments.

Dig into things before promoting them on social media.
The incidence of intellectual disability among autistic people is notably higher than among non-autistic people, and similarly for the incidence of many other comorbidities.
That said, I’m not sure what you’re trying to argue for, here. If you’re trying to say that we should be more accepting of neuroatypical people, like those with autism, I agree; it has improved quite a lot in the last decade but it’s still not great. If you’re trying to say autism shouldn’t be considered a disease and there shouldn’t be efforts to find a cure for it, I don’t agree.
I’m not sure why antivaxxers focus so much on specifically autism as a supposed vaccine sideffect. I think it might be historical reasons (it dates all the way back to Fudenberg and maybe even older), plus the fact that it’s a mental problem rather than physical and hence trivial to motivatedly “self-diagnose” (it’s much easier to claim that after you vaccinated your child you immediately noticed “clear autism symptoms”, than to claim their leg abruptly fell off).
