I have been working on a book about my life with Autism, misunderstandings about Autistic folks, and general life lessons. I have been able to do a lot of things many would never think an Autistic person could do like graduate from college (which became a viral video) and run for political office. Any advice on which publishers would be interested in publishing such a book?

Running your work through an editor is also a good idea and I don't mean to impugn your work. I thought I wrote well enough but didn't get a story published online until I let an editor hone it to something publishable. A little ego check is good from time to time.

I've been considering doing self publishing. I'm just worried the book wouldn't be able to get the reach it needs if I self publish.
Don't know. Good luck with it. I'm an asparagus (my way of joking about having Asperger's) but learnt to survive ive in society. I hate loud noises and large gatherings, especially of strangers. I also don't recognise faces at all well, but I've learned to just pretend I remember them. I can remember details, but not the face, so once we've been talking a while I start to recall who they are.
I too managed to achieve quite a bit. I became the technical manager for a multinational company, in control of 6 countries in Africa, and simultaneously ran the sales division for the same company. After 26 years I left, came to Spain and started a publishing company, with 3 titles, After another 25 years I retired, and now draw my pension.
There's nothing that people without severe autism cannot achieve, we just need time to adjust and learn how to handle the world.
