#And as an aside this does pretty much confirm my theory of c!Dream being autistic

@its-hitoshi I hope it’s okay to make a post answering your question, I figured perhaps you might not be the only one wondering so might as well just put it out there for anyone not in the loop. :) I would also like to say I really appreciate you asking, as it has previously not been concretely confirmed and I think it’s important to respect ccs and their privacy by not assuming, diagnosing, or spreading around false information about any mental illness, disorders or sexual orientation...etc. I stand firm on the fact that it’s none of our business unless they choose to share it.

Anyways, the answer is that this week Dream in multiple posts including his stream and reply to his original offensive tweet (and maybe somewhere else too) has confirmed that he is in fact autistic.

This of course came out because in the past he saw others being defended for using the r-slur against him because of their autism, so he felt that it was okay for him to post a meme with it too. Obviously, not everyone agrees with that and he has since apologized and (despite his I’d say reasonable frustration at the double standard that’s it’s okay if an autistic person calls him every slur in the book including the r-slur but - how dare he do so), he has come to realize that it was out of line period, standing by his previous statement of not using the word in any context. Think of that what you will. And I know you only asked about the autism, but given the tweet and clip where he says it are directly related to this offensive tweet, I wanted you to have to some context before placing judgment or being confused incase you didn’t already know about what has been going on.
