Don't worry, I'm autistic too, it just so happens that I don't hide behind it or use it as my whole identity and I'm self-aware enough to put in a bunch of extra effort trying to do the things which don't come naturally, like seeing things other points of views

It's fucking hard but at least I don't live in a perpetually online bubble

It's not hard and you've demonstrated that you haven't actually chosen to consider other points of view already with your dogmatic bullshit that can't tell the difference between two vastly different organizations in terms of purpose, ideology, material conditions, and effect. You have stopped your critical thinking at the most vulgar first impression of either side.

Also, being autistic yourself doesn't give you free reign to shit on other autistic people. That does not protect you from being a piece of shit, it just makes you a self-aware piece of shit.
