In my very limited experience, the most highly qualified people in the autism world are moderately well equipped to understand giftedness; much more than the people I've encountered in the gifted world are equipped to understand autism. Especially autism in a girl, where the rate of under-diagnosis is staggering.

Gifted AS kids often have their disabilities overlooked as PG quirks or excused as OEs by people who are too focused on their giftedness, and then they don't get the help they should.

That's my two cents only, use it as you will.
