I googled this because I was curious, and it doesn't look like they have a blanket ban on people with autism. It seems they only exclude people who need expensive care.

(Not defending this policy, ofc. Just trying to get the facts right)

https://www.immigration.govt.nz/opsmanual/#46506.htm

Severe developmental disorders or severe cognitive impairments where significant support is required, including but not exclusive to:
... autistic spectrum disorders

I would of course check with an immigration lawyer before committing to a plan to move, though.
