I think that there are autistic traits (not recognising your own or others emotions, failing to learn from experience, adherence to routine) that can make people vulnerable to being abused and to abusing others. I certainly think that people with ASD can hurt the feelings of others, and do things that result in accusations of bullying / harassment.
In autistic people I would say there is an absence of malice, power-seeking or manipulation in these actions - it is genuinely a failure to see hurt, even when repeating a behaviour similar to another event previously identified as hurtful.
To put a positive spin on this, I have seen some talented technical people forced into managing crises, without administrative support. Their solutions can be quite damaging on an emotional level, despite being technically excellent. This is an area where employers can really help.
