I would counter that an autism diagnosis would function as smoke signal to areas where there are likely to be unsolved issues and lagging skills: with some individuals there will likely be issues with transitions, socialising and building healthy reciprocal peer relationships, managing busy and noisy environments It's incredibly relevant that a significant amount of distress and "challenging" behaviour is an accumulation of social and sensory stress: and the sensory experience of kids on the spectrum is enormously relevant. The problem solving model Dr Greene champions would be very helpful for many children on the spectrum but especially when paired with a robust understanding of autism and sensory integration theory. Of course all theories and knowledge needs to be secondary to relationship and knowledge of the individual in question. Autistic children and individuals often have "spiky" profiles so their lagging skills are overlooked.
