Maybe for high functioning, fully self-sufficient autists whose condition is more of a personality trait. But I can't imagine it being the case for those who essentially can't survive without assistance. It would be like the "net negative" of someone in a wheelchair who can now walk again and therefore lose access to welfare benefits and handicapped parking spots. Now maybe some people in wheelchairs think their handicap is part of how they are and want to keep it, but I would be surprised if it wasn't at best a tiny minority.
