It sounds to me like that's more of a teenager trait than an autistic one. Not to say that every teenager would find humor in putting dicks in unexpected places, or even that only a teenager would, but it's pretty on brand for boys in that general age bracket.

Teenagers are also biologically predisposed to occasionally making bad decisions. The kid in this article had a brain whose prefrontal cortex wouldn't finish developing for nearly another decade. I suspect that had a lot more to do with posting links to a penis in Uber's internal chats than autism did.
