Autism spectrum and abuse
These are two studies I found. I don't think either exactly details how likely people with ASD are to report abuse themselves, but their results show that autistic people may be more likely to be abused. I couldn't find studies specifically based on how likely an autistic person is to report abuse against themselves compared to typically developing peers.
Study based on autistic adults and their likeliness to face abuse: Victimization and Persecution Experiences of Adults With Autism
Abstract:
Study about autistic children and their likeliness to face abuse: A population-based examination of maltreatment referrals and substantiation for children with autism spectrum disorder
Abstract:
It doesn't surprise me that autistic people are more likely to be abused. Their families and caregivers have an agenda to scare the autism out of them, so they use harsh words and/or inflict physical pain. I know about the harsh words. Believe me. There was a time that my mum's harsh words caused me to distance myself in the summer, 4 years ago.
