individually? you could ask someone and use what they prefer to refer to them.
it's good to use what an individual person prefers when referring to that person, because it isn't hurting anyone to refer to them how they feel comfortable with.

would you rather be referred to as a “person with autism” or a “autistic person”?

Not only is this question coming completely out of the blue and would be odd to say the least, it could be quite rude to someone if you just make the topic of the conversation about a thing they have that they might not even want in the first place. If everyone asked what they preferred, this could get annoying and stressful to the user that all of the conversations they have are being shifted to the disability they have. Having people ask is easier said than done.
