I'm curious to know what is the meaning trying to be conveyed here which would not be received negatively by people with actual autism or caring for one?

Turn off the audio and read the subtitles on this - https://old.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/comments/kxmyg5/cant...
You probably recognise this scene from The Wolf of Wall Street. The text uses “degenerate”, “autist” and so on but the whole text and di Caprio’s manner strongly implies that these are positive, desirable qualities. He uses them as terms of endearment and compliments. The rest of /r/wsb is the same. Context matters.
