I think it's complicated - first, it's tough to say that a virus with such fatal potential and no end in sight is a 'good thing.'
From an autistic perspective, it's a mixed bag (for me, at least). On the one hand, my life hasn't changed significantly; when people would ask me how things have been since COVID started up, I frankly had nothing to say because my life felt like business as usual, except for floods of people at the grocery store any time of day, which irritated me since I like to shop when no one's around.
On the other hand, it has meant that I have been stripped of any and all alone time; my mom has been working from home and apparently her department is in talks to just make that a permanent mainstay. My mom is deaf, so I don't feel as uncomfortable 'being myself' (stimming, talking aloud, among other things) around her, but my dad and brother are home all the time too. I know this is a minor issue, but it really means a lot for me mentally to have that alone time and it's made a difference in my functionality.
It depends on who you ask - I'm sure some autistic people are enjoying this more than others. I happen to be so socially averse that I incidentally have been forced to be more social through this (via family) haha, so on that note it's a less pleasant time for me.
