I'd say go for it. This will be a chance to tell people about your condition (if you want) and that will allow you the insiders' perspective, which means you can inform from a personal point of view. Some of the best journalism comes from personal experience(s), told with facts and empathy.
You could also interview the people who run websites like WrongPlanet and On The Spectrum, which will give people reading who might have AS et al to find a place to have community. Plus, it'll also be a great writing experience that you can put on your college app (admissions people love these sorts of things--you could even maybe use it on the "Personal Essay" section of the app, if necessary.)
If you do decide to write this article, I hope you'll post it on WP--I'd love to see it!
