Well besides the 'Genius Autist' trope, I believe there's also the 'Psychic Autist' trope which seems common in horror movies. Like Danny in The Shining. It's like in Hollowood Movies us Aspies are only redeemable if we have an impressively high IQ or we are psychically inclined enough to warn everyone of evil spirits and other dangers.
This may come under the definition of the Inspirationally Disadvantaged Trope , which also seems to be common in Hollywood productions, especially Hallmark movies.
TVTropes.com is a great resource for both script writers and movie fans.
