Thought not.

Does that rule combined with any other rules prohibit handling discs during autonomous?

No. You see, discs start in the Alliance Station--where in the station is not defined by the rules. It does include the Feeder Stations, but it also includes the box behind the starting line. (nukem--this part is the part you missed in the rules.)

In short, you can handle the discs during automode (if they're in the area humans can be, which you are allowed to move them to), but not enter them into the field (other rules prohibit this).

I would advise against it. The rules can get a little iffy on this sort of thing. What would the purpose be anyway? You'd have to grab the discs and put them behind the starting line before autonomous. And then move them wherever you want. How much are you going to do in those 15 seconds that you couldn't do before the match or during teleop? And there's more than enough time before the match starts to arrange discs, by the way.
