You: "I'd venture to guess that there are many kids that are autistic that are being groomed by online trans forums into thinking that they are trans. "
This is all pure ROGD / CG bullsh*t rhetoric. Please stop.
You are not trans, nor autistic and you have no idea what you are talking about.
Edit: And to answer your question later in this thread:
I am an autistic. Married to an autistic. Our kids are autistics, too. We celebrate our autism; it is simply who we are.
I've studied the history of how psych conceptualizes autistics, and have kept up with current research in psych, but more so in fields like neurology and genetics. When possible, I speak in person (or more recently, via email) to researchers who've published in the field, as well as health care practitioners. I am also an active member of the adult autistic community, as well as the community of parents of autistic kids who realize their kids are just different, not defective.
I am also a trans woman, as is one of my children. I don't know that we celebrate our transness; it is simply who we are.
