Must I Godwin? This scenario already happened and it's the reason why the term "Aspergers Syndrome" exists in the first place. Hans Asperger had a number of autistic children in his clinical care and he saved them from being killed by the Nazis mainly by using their technical special interests as a selling point. Were this to happen today under a similar regime, a similar thing would probably happen (for some, and clearly not for others, as surely happened in Germany too). To some extent that strategy is already being explored as people argue against the development of prenatal screening on the grounds that future Einsteins might be screened out.
this.
And if we were ever to live under a dictatorship that would perform genocide then the loss of autistic people would be the least of my worries, because if such a regime were to be in palce it's mostly going to be NT's dying for being pinko's,
peasants and shop owners.
