Human high-functional autists have full human rights because they are human. If you want a rational reason to deny rights to LAI's, it's because they can be built or modified to disregard law, morals, and ethics without compromising their narrow functionality. A similarly modified SAI would be impaired similarly to a brainhacked biosapient.
