It is important to note that before the event of tiktok and before everyone and their peers sef-diagnosed as autistic, the term was already used semi-ironically for comedic effect on less sensible internet forums when describing any nerdy behavior, as it is in this context.

You may still deplore the use of a ~~disease~~ slight divergence from the societally accepted set of behaviors as a comically charged descriptor, but make sure you don't interpret is as a serious commentary on the nature of the project, for that would be in error.

As you probably noticed, English is not my first language, I apologize for the use of the word disease instead of the appropriate description of what autism is, I have edited my comment to better reflect what your stuck-up puritan ass would prefer to read.
