Autism actually has nothing to do with intelligence so when a petson calls someone retarded for being autistic that is really ignorant and wrong. It is a social disorder that causes social ability/functioning to be hindered to be not as adept as other people and also causes some repetitive behavior patterns. It's why autistic people like spending time on technology preferring it instead of direct social interaction. There are different spectrums; high functioning and low functioning. High functioning allows the person to be able to function pretty normally and capable of acting in the same way as others with limits that can be overcome with treatment and practice. Low functioning are a lot more hindered in social abilities because unlike high functioning people they don't understand socil cues and what is the appropriate way to act and what's not.
