feel I should respond to this, even little belatedly
Firstly, "the disabled" should be no more immune from mockery than the rest of us. Second, the point of the sketch is to use the device of an autistic viewpoint to satirise war and the differing viewpoints about death/victory/patriotism. Thirdly, although you have watched a documentary, I work with autistic people regularly. The ones with high functioning are able to laugh at their quirks etc, what they really struggle with is the public's ignorance of their condition (assuming they have rain man style 'special powers' etc). Something like this highlights how they view the world and so increases people's understanding of autism and why they react 'oddly' in certain situations.
So yes, it is ok.
