Most studies point out that most people with Autism Spectrum Disorder are more likely to be victims rather than perpetrators. Why did some scientists create the term "Criminal autistic Psychopathy"? It kind of sounds ableist, to be honest.
Those outdated articles are found in Google Scholar and they seem legit. I hope you understand where I come from.
It could be that we are more likely to be very easily brainwashed or manipulated into committing crimes without mans rea and malicious intent. But it does not happen all the time and criminal or antisocial behavior related to Autism Spectrum Disorder is not malicious and is completely different than Antisocial Personality Disorder for example.

I cannot see anything "ableist" in those articles.
"Judging from population-based studies persons with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASDs) appear as no more or less likely to come into contact with the Criminal Justice System (CJS) as compared to non-autistic people (1–3)"
" Our results highlight the importance of all parts of the CJS to be prepared to handle offenders with ASD, often with high levels of additional psychiatric problems. "
