Does being asexual mean being on the autism spectrum? What does it mean if I do not want to be touched?

It does not! Asexuality is a sexual orientation. While your experience with autism might effect your sexual orientation, those things are generally considered separate.
Being averse to touch could mean many things. It could be something in your past, hypersensitivity due to anxiety, or it maybe related to autism. Being touch-averse doesn't necessarily mean you're asexual either.
Being touch-averse isn't bad, or wrong or abnormal, it's just another way of being.
