Whether you use capitalization depends on the use.

You would capitalize if it's the beginning of a sentence or sometimes people will capitalize Autism Spectrum Disorder in order to make it easier to identify the acronym ASD. When speaking about Autistic people or the Autism community this is also capitalized to identify it as an identity.
