This has come up before (eg Doubts about gender identity - late 2010 to early 2011, under Health Issues).
It seems to be a major issue affecting many people on the spectrum, but a taboo subject for discussion in here. People report ambiguous sexuality, asexuality, homosexuality and other uncertainties that seem to be fundamental to being on the spectrum. It might be related to not developing social interactions from which to learn about sexual "norms".
There's a blog site for G. E. Robison, author of that fantastic book "Look me in the Eye" which gives such a positive view of being on the spectrum; in his blog if I understand it correctly he muses on the subject partly because his brother identified gay.
It certainly needs airing. Will that happen this time? I do wonder, particularly, if parents and carers duck the issues.
