Yes, it's a really problematic one; the same oppression used for two different things. My problem is that being Trans is still in the DSM, just as being Gay was only 30 odd years ago. There are still far too many people who truly believe that Trans- and Gay-folk are not sane by their standards and so not entirely neurotypical (but not Autistic; is there a distinction there?).

Perhaps the statement can better be phrased something like "Autism is used as the primary reason why you cannot possibly be a sexual minority because you're not capable of making that decision for yourself. You're just confused." Or words to that effect.
