Question about a censored word

I saw a post on the player behavior boards with the phrase "a%%%%m" (it came censored and the OP tried to comment what the word was after seeing it censored in their post and it got censored again so I'm assuming it was a mod or auto censored). I could be wrong, but I think this is related to the developmental disorder in which case I don't understand why it would be censored? Some people wrongly use it as an insult but treating the term for that disorder as a slur and censoring it because of that seems wrong. I'm mostly concerned because I have that disorder so I'm hoping I'm mistaken about what that word is.

It is more or less exclusively used as an insult online, that is all the answer that is needed.

I suspect that user is self-censoring. It doesn't look like it's on the filter list, but I'd have to see the specific post to be sure.
