Keep in mind that you cannot discriminate against anyone to keep them out.
The bigger problem is that of buying the property and building homes. Don't expect anyone else to provide those for you.
The biggest problem would be creating the economic conditions to make it a going concern. Even if you can find enough people with the finances to buy the property and build their homes, that doesn't mean that anyone is going to put in stores and hire people. In my community (not a village/town/city) with a population of 30 to 40 people, depending on how you count them, and covering about 50 square miles, there are no stores and businesses other than farms and ranches, many of which will be incorporated. The total number of employees outside of their own families is, I think, 2.
To me, the whole idea is relatively dumb.
Better yet would be to find jobs in existing small towns and rural areas and move there, but be prepared to fit in. If you keep yourself aloof, you probably won't be accepted very quickly at all.

That's the current plan, there is a town in Pennsylvania we want to immigrate to due to cheap housing + nature
Does your target location have one or more excellent hospitals nearby?
A town with a significant portion of the population being Autistic and with good medical care could possibly adjust to be friendly to Autistics.
I think having a town with a high percentage of HFA could be helpful. Businesses and government offices would be more likely to learn how to serve the HFA community's needs.
But I'm old.
I'm interested in an area where I can get good senior care and good medical care. However, there are some good hospitals in Pennsylvania. Do you know if you'll be near one?

I wouldn't say there are excellent hospitals nearby, but there is a clinic in town and a hospital within 20 minutes
