It means that the contents of your post suggest you might have autism.

To put it more informatively, it's typically used like a milder version of the "Dumb" rating. It means that the person who gives it to you thinks your post is kind of stupid, but not stupid enough to actually be worth a neg rating. Or there's just something about it that reeks of autism.
What I don't understand is some of the site's users' relationship with autism. I'm guessing autism references are due to Chris-Chan having autism.

Telling users that socially retarded behavior is autistic has been common on the internet for years, because social awkwardness is a common symptom of aspergers and high functioning autism. It's not due to Chris-chan.

Calling people "autistic" as an insult has been a common thing in chan-culture for years, probably before Chris was even discovered. Kiwi Farms borrows heavily from Chan culture and can be seen in examples such as politically incorrect humor, and commonly used terms such as shitposting, as well as references to memes such as powerlevel.

Autistically Informative. Well done.
 
Why are there still "positive" and "negative" ratings when all we can see now is how many likes we have? Pick a direction and stick with it, ya dinguses.

"I want negative ratings to weed out bad posts" -null 2 years ago

"Everyone is afraid of negative ratings and suddenly I feel that it's bad" -null now.

Also yes, gimme 420 rating.
