No, an older person cannot get autism from a stroke.

Autism isn't a disease so it's not something you can 'get', it's a neurological difference so it's something that you are. Being a neurological difference means it is something you are born as, it's formed when the brain is formed in the womb and a person cannot change from neurotypical to autistic by having a stroke.
