I think there's some truth to that. I see it as... a lot of autistic people have gotten sucked into the thing, because at least in the short term, it looks like if you learn a set of rules, and parrot them loudly, you get acceptance and a certain amount of popularity-- things that do not otherwise accrue to autists, ever.

But I also think it's a nasty trap. Part of how the left, wokism, and other things the perpetually-offended use to exercise unearned power over others works is that they never stop pushing boundaries or adjusting the rules, and the current, most cutting-edge set of rules is never *quite* stated in explicit terms. There's a lot of unstated, amorphous stuff in there that requires a finely-tuned social sense to keep up-to-date on, and the autists are going to get left behind by it. And then cannibalized by their more socially-aware ex-"friends".

Autists like rigid, unchanging rules. Woke is all about constantly changing the rules so only the most cool, most aggressively trendy, can keep up.
