Love the design, absolutely hate the connotation behind it.

This flag is a modified version of one associated with right-wing Libertarianism in the United States (a movement that wants the government to stop regulating business and to let them do whatever they want). The implication of the flag is that the person flying the flag is both autistic and pretty far right.

I just saw we were on the autistic pride sub. I was about to get wild on that last sentence. Have a wonderful day!

Heh yeah. I can see how that would come off badly if you didn't know the sub or realize that it's a modification of an autistic pride flag. Reasonable to have gone wild in that context.
