So, I've not read Rowling's transphobic manifesto, because fuck putting myself through that, but my mentions make it clear she's used the "Autistic people are being tricked into being they're trans by the evil trans lobby because they' don't know better" arguement, right? ...
I didn't get that argument at all from her post. I think she believes that autistic people are at a higher risk of inaccurately being interpreted 'trans', not that it makes them inherently unfit to consent or that they have no sense of self.

I don’t think there’s enough info in Rowling’s post to judge it just on its own. It has to be taken in context of very common gender critical commentary on autistic teens and gender dysphoria.

...which often seems to base the “inaccurate interpretation of being trans” on something like autistic girls having unstable or atypical sense of self and gender, which it’s claimed often leads to a misdiagnosis of being trans.
