AITA for thinking an autistic man is an entitled asshole?

Let me explain. The other day, I took the bus to work and all seats beside the priority ones were full (no one were standing) so I sat in one of them and put on my headphones. I kept an eye alert in case someone who actually needed the priority seat got on the bus. And at some point, a man approached me very bluntly and raising his voice "are you pregnant?". I looked at him and answer no and then he said I should give him the seat then. I looked at him in disbelief "you don't have to yell at me". I was willing to give him my seat even if he doesn't seem like he needed because I'm aware some disabilities are not easy to see. But his answer was "I'm autistic" looking at me as if that was reason enough for me to jump out of the seat and justify his behavior.

I know that for some people with autism is difficult to modulate the voice tone to the situation but I also feel he was being openly rude. I don't think being autistic mean you get the priority seat over a neurotypical person. I might be wrong so AITA?
