Parenti's speech is also known as "The Yellow Lecture" because the surviving footage of it has a distinctive coloration.

The other reference is this meme is to a scene in Seinfeld where Kramer's apartment is being aggressively illuminated by a big red neon sign across the street; in this case, changed to yellow.

I also really appreciated Worf and Martok's take on Garak's struggles with claustrophobia

Martok: There is no greater enemy than one's own fears.

Worf: It takes a brave man to face them.

I'm not sure whether or not the android Data could be considered autistic from an in-universe perspective, but I would say that as a character Data was inspired by autistic humans and written in a way that neurodivergent viewers would empathize with. At least that's how he's always come across to me, as a neurodivergent trekkie.
