Ill go out on a limb and say "people with autism."
It just seems more dignified and does not reduce a person to just one thing they have.
Saying "person with autism" seems otherizes them somewhat less, and perhaps might not validate mistreatment of them in the same way.
The same reason that "Jewish person" is better than "Jew."
