I see it as this: Imagine someone saw you as, say, stupid, goofy, slow, etc. Then they start calling you autistic or say you have aspergers as a result. As if Autism=Stupid.

But, if someone instead tries to excuse any perceived stupidity or slowness on their own part with "I'm autistic" or anything similar, I see it as no different from the above, as you're practically saying that Autism=Stupid.
