Depends on who's doing the asking I suppose. If its a total stranger, I'd say probably. If its your doctor, no.

Autism is a disorder that we are still trying to find out more about, with no real cure in sight. Parents are still learning how to manage this disorder, and should be aware that someone with autism will encounter greater challenges related to drugs and alcohol.
Dangers of Substance Abuse
Substance abuse is dangerous for anyone, but someone with autism may face more risks when they try drugs or alcohol. According to autismhelp.org, “Autism Spectrum Disorder often affects the skills that are needed to use drugs and alcohol sensibly and safely – social skills, insight, organization and understanding what is appropriate behavior in a given context.” (2) Drugs may also have a different effect on autistic brains, making them more dangerous to the user. Parents of autistic young adults should be especially aware of what their child is doing. If they suspect their child is abusing drugs or alcohol, they should consult a professional who is knowledgeable about autism for help.

Alas, he was so autistic that he made the doctors autistic, so they could not diagnose him.
