Executive summary: it's bullshit. Ostracise him already.

Longer version: It's simply not true, and it's throwing neurodivergent people under the bus by painting us all as irredeemably sexist/misogynist.

It's also trying to make excuses for him ("look, the poor dear simply can't help it!") and is a short hop from "he's not really racist, he was just drunk/on strong medication."

If there were a clear and well-documented trail of records showing that neurodivergence is strongly associated with such attitudes and/or behaviours, there might be a case for it. I've yet to hear of such evidence, and I'd be deeply suspicious of the methodology used to gather it.

Being autistic hasn't caused me to be a sex-pest any more than getting drunk has ever suddenly made me racist.

No, RMS' problematic behaviour is his own responsibility, and to call for censure on this basis is the correct course of action.
Not just censure of him, but of everybody running interference for him.
