I'm not autistic, but this sounds like a good way to get out of a conversation. Would this be cultural appropriation?

This is one of the ways to handle someone saying you don't look disabled (whether autism or other). I think w can all share it when appropriately used against judgmental assholes. I personally have gone with a less aggressive "and you didn't look so rude".
