When did it become an insult to call people autistic?

Is autism really an insult? There are some super high functioning "autists"

Elon Musk
Bill Gates
Michelangelo
Nikola Tesla
Issac Newton
Charles Darwin
Possibly Albert Einstein
Anthony Hopkins
Jerry Seinfeld
Tim Burton

Just to name a few. One could say you might be retarded to call a person autistic as an insult.

I hate the fact we have included all these people as autistic.

all it does is diminish the struggles of those with genuine issues.

if they are autistic, I think calling someone a 'retard' may be a compliment
