@Creativeboy23 This sounds really difficult, joining an exercise class sounds like a good idea. Are you in education? Some schools/colleges/universities have fitness areas and classes. I think that everyone can exercise, it just looks different for everyone depending on their ability/health/preferences etc. It sounds like you're dealing with a lot of pressure from your family, have you got a support network such as friends that you could talk this over with?

It must be hard when your family doesn't understand the implications of your condition, especially something as complex as autism.

Is exercising something you would like to do, or is more due to the expectation from your family? Exercising and healthy eating is good in moderation, but it can be difficult to keep up with, so you don't need to do anything overly ambitious. It could just be going on a 15 minute walk every day and then see how you get on from there.

I hope things get better for you

It's easier said than done but I would try your best to ignore your family when they treat you like that
