On social media, people sometimes use acoustic as slang for autistic (because the words sound similar). Most often, people do this when "joking around" about people who are behaving "acoustically."
For example, if you post a video of yourself dancing erratically, others may comment "Why are you dancing like that? Are you acoustic?" Or, if you post a picture of yourself crouching in a chair, others may reply "Slightly acoustic behavior."
As you've likely already guessed, most people who have experience with autism don't like this use of the word acoustic. They believe the term inappropriately belittles autistic people's experiences and difficulties. Thus, you probably shouldn't use this slang term yourself.
