The mother's comment about autistic children flapping their hands was in reference to her own son I believe.
Nowhere in the ad does it say that Trump is autistic.
I think their point was that Trump was making fun of a disabled person (which he was, let's be honest) and that the mother could not support him because of her disabled son.
There is some dispute about that.
Trump has reportedly used that mannerism to mock multiple reporters.
It's about being "flustered", not "autistic".
I’ve seen videos showing Trump making the same gestures mocking other people including Ted Cruz; he apparently had no idea the (print) reporter was disabled.
I know it doesn’t matter now, the meme has been set, but here is an alternative explanation.

A damn’d lie.
Trump has said that, never having met or seen the reporter, he didn’t know he was disabled. Why not take Trump’s word for it instead of that of his detractors? Why become one of his detractors?
“I think their point was that Trump was making fun of a disabled person (which he was, let’s be honest)”
This is simply wrong, and people only believe it because they’ve never seen the disabled reporter in question. I’ve seen footage of him, and he couldn’t move his arms around like Trump did to save his life. One of his arms is perfectly fine. The other is shriveled and small, and he keeps it immobile by his stomach. If the press actually showed footage of the reporter, no one on earth would think Trump was imitating or mocking him. Trump, however, has used the same movements in the past to mock both Cruz and Rubio—whom we are supposed to view as disabled now I take it.
Trump never mocked the disabled reporter.
Get up to speed and stop peddling Hillary’s propaganda.
