What does autism have to do with it?
Maybe because the word savant was used which is oftentimes used to describe a smart person with autism.
This was one of the best things I’ve read on wired in a while. It’s a surprisingly excellent write up on the Mirai bot net and the events surrounding it. (The HN headline title is definitely more click bait than I’d like)
The HN headline currently says: > The Mirai Botnet Was Part of a College Student Minecraft Scheme How is this clickbait? All I can see is a summary of what happened. When people say "clickbait", I expect something like: > Three Boys Sucked At Minecraft. You Won't Believe What Happened Next!

No, savant simply means "a learned person". Perhaps you are thinking of "idiot savant", which refers to someone with a mental disability and is gifted in a particular way.
