This might be a terrorist.
This might be an author.
This might be an autistic person.

In one scenario, there is a future where people will cry "we could have prevented this tragedy". In another, that is one reason why autistic folks are being side-eyed, and that makes me sad.

Autism is not an excuse for what they are saying any more than it was an excuse for Elon Musk to do a Nazi salute.

Most autistic people I know have a very strong moral code that they will not deviate from.

Sure, this guy might be autistic, but his behavior here is not because of autism.

Having a specific interest in what poisonous/venomous creature they can breed in large quantities has nothing to do with moral in codes, and yet will get you looks.

I have no idea why you think wanting to breed venomous insects in large quantities has anything to do with autism.

Why does he need an excuse for asking about breeding dangerous animals?

Honest question.

I'm not suggesting he needs an excuse, I'm suggesting that saying he's doing it because he has autism is bullshit.
