There's a disturbing trend emerging that I really don't like, and it's not the conventional "autistic people will not make good workers" argument. In fact, it's something of an inverse: the expectation that every autistic person you hire is going to be an idiot-savant that will have unparalleled focus and attention to detail once you hire them. Autistic people are still people. They make mistakes. They're not robots. I'm glad we've moved away from blacklisting them, but we're getting to the point of fetishizing them instead. Both directions are still dehumanizing.
