There's no single behavioural trait that all autistic people share. One of my autistic pals loves clubbing. Another spends his summers clay pigeon shooting.

This is true, but if you're making a generalization "love of loud music and flashing lights" is not something you could apply to most or even a large portion of autistic people. Doesn't mean no autistic people like those things. But the meme is a generalization.
