The particular trope it embodies is "Arsehole redeems themselves by not being a total arsehole to one person".

It's a bit like filming yourself giving a coin to a beggar.

Something like this would infuriate the "autism is made up" brigade then:

A heritage railway centre has held an event to mark World Autism Awareness Day - offering families the chance to enjoy a quiet and safe day out.

Nene Valley Railway (NVR), near Peterborough, welcomed visitors on Thursday from across the UK as part of the event, which aimed to support people with visible and hidden disabilities.

Families were able to travel on the Thomas stream [sic] train, which ran between Wansford and Yarwell in Cambridgeshire, as well as a range of other activities.

I think the NVR has Autism Awareness events at other times of the year too.
