The eugenics would probably come in the form of aborting fetuses suspected of being born with autism, and using CRISPR genome-editing tech (when that's further along in development) to turn autistic kids neurotypical, rather than something more obviously genocidal like shoving them into camps or sterilizing them.
Actually now that I think of it, some of them probably do want forced sterilization of autistic people. At the very least autistic people have been caught in the same net as other groups considered "mentally unfit" or failing to sufficiently conform to societal norms (groups which originally included Black and Latina women) and thus sterilized. CW for extremely racist/eugenicist shit that actually happened in California:
