What is it aboutasperger that attracts the trolls? We don't even get good trolls - this is the shittiest trolling I've ever seen! Where's the drama? The entertainment? The moderators?
But the things you mention are the result of pervasive mistreatment and social prejudices, not autism. The only thing you did mention that is considered a part of autism itself is executive functioning problems, and I'm not even sure of that. (EF issues are uniformly seen in autistics trying to emulate NTs and in ones that are stuck in an anti-autistic environment -- they're not really seen in autistics in an autism-compatible environment that are doing things in a way compatible with their neurology.)
One thing autism sure does cause, though, is intolerance of neuroleptic drugs...my poor brain is a disaster right now just from one *extremely* tiny dose over 24 hours ago, so forgive if the above is written confusingly.
