We currently have the value of not wanting to perform in a needlessly discriminatory or harmful fashion.

The making fun of people on the autism spectrum is a needlessly discriminatory and harmful element without any merit that justifies its exception.
Therefore, to be consistent in our values we cannot make a special exception for these elements.
This is what I was driving at.
Also, the argument of, "I have Asperger's so it's okay because I'm not offended," is EXACTLY the same as someone saying, "I'm black or gay and I'm not offended by these pejoratives." An excuse that won't stop you from being banned in such cases.
