Autant que does not require a subjunctive after it. It is merely used as 'as much as'.
Ex1: (using present and not subjunctive) Serre la vis autant que tu peux (tighten the screw as much as you can) ;
Ex2: (using que + subjunctive) Je ne crois pas que tu puisses le serrer davantage (I don't believe you could tighten it any more) ;
Ex3: (similar meaning, using present and no subjunctive) je ne crois pas que tu peux le faire : I don't believe you can do it.
However, some fixed expressions use the subjunctive, as 'autant que je sache, ...' (as far as I know, ...).
When in doubt, remember that French schoolchildren are taught to use the simplest alternative - here the present vs the subjunctive.
