There's a vast number of conservative parents who have said they would support abortion in cases of fetal abnormalities like "autism" because they're not pro-life or informed about anything, they're just scared. They're scared of hardships, they're scared of emotional labor, they're scared of the social stigmas around having to care for someone with special needs, they're scared they won't love a child who isn't normal, and will be judged for it.

It's not possible to diagnose an autism until the age of about four or five at the earliest so I'm not sure how they're planning to do that

They don't think in logical, reasonable systems, they imagine stories. The entire conservative mindset is narratives and feelings. That's why things like vaccines and tylenol go so hard for them, it's an easy McGuffin to comprehend and work into their mental storylines.
