Interesting take, and no doubt true to an extent.
I'd like to add that blowing the autism whistle is just an easy way to rile up 2 important sections of their base: those who don't know any better, and trolls.
It's the same as saying Jews are responsible for all of the world's misfortunes. Trolls know it isn't true, but they don't care and will push the lie as an endless joke. Then people who don't know any better come along and can't wrap their heads around what's going on, so they fall for it like flat-earthers or scientologists.
