i wasn't aware mice could have autism.
Me neither.
me: How did you know those mice were Autistic?
Scientist: Because they didn't want to talk.
(He tried to talk to them several times and they just didn't answered).
Is the mouse going to start a big "How I Overcame Autism" thread?
That wasn't very nice 
Matt gave out some good advice in the thread that you're referring to
Like I said, even if they could, how could we tell? - But mice do share like 90% of our DNA, and shutting down the MECP2 gene causes them neural problems.
There are severe limitations on rodent models for neuropsychiatric research. My own lab has a meta-hypothesis: "Mice possibly might not be humans." This is based on structural and functional comparisons of DNA promoter sequences. Yes, the protein-coding sequences are very similar, but similarity drops off rapidly when you're talking about the non-coding sequences that determine "on", "off", "when", and "how much".
