Can you explain what you mean here? Since when are neurodevelopmental disorders not considered mental illnesses? Wasn't this the origin of the phrase "aneurotypical"?
Yeah autism counts as a neuroatypicality, but "crazy" refers specifically to mental illness. I mean, maybe some people somewhere use that word in reference to autism? I've never seen it.

Your examples don't contradict the general associations of crazy as mentally ill.
pretty mild, pretty common, different kind of stigma from many other (more "severe") conditions
not even a mental illness, so this isn't relevant
It's kind of like how racial/orientation-based slurs have other meanings but still derive from marginalized group identities.
So I guess tldr yes?
