What kind of craziness would cause a person to think that it might?
Probably the same craziness that causes people to think vaccines cause autism.
I would hazard a guess, which obviously I don't know if this is what they're really thinking or not, but I would guess that since there are behavioral overlaps between ASD and CPTSD, that somebody might have made the connection.
That being said, there's no evidence that circumcision gives people CPTSD on its own, at least none that I am aware of, and if somebody else knows more than I do, (which is quite easy to do), feel free to educate me.

I could maybe see how the pain and/or trauma of it could alter how the brain might develop, but even that’s a stretch…
Autism isn't a trauma response!
Especially given the crossover between asd and CPTSD, it doesn’t strike me as an insane thing to look at, but I’m also not surprised it’s not related.
Genital mutiliation and child sexual abuse can have extreme consequences on mental development. It's a (well-intentioned) case of bad cause-effect analysis.
