This is just my own personal suggestion and should not be taken personally. I have Autism (high functioning) as well too and I personally believe this would be fair to all.
Title 3 of ADA only requires reasonable accommodations to be made to provide equal access for those who have a disability which is defined as a condition that impairs a major life activity provided it does not create undue hardship and if it does not compromise the health and safety of the guest with the disability as well as the health and safety of all other guests (The ADA DOES NOT require ride manufacture’s warnings and instructions to be violated and it requires for all guests to be able to participate safely, including that all riders must be able to be properly restrained in the vehicle).
My personal idea is to not allow anyone with an active return time to ride or attraction A board ride B or attraction B after waiting in the physical standby line without canceling and forfeiting their DAS return time to Ride A unless they have a lightning lane pass. This would be fair because a person physically waiting in the standby line cannot leave the line to go wait in another standby line without forfeiting their spot. The DAS guest can still shop, dine, or use the restroom while waiting. DAS guests are still allowed to purchase lightning lane or Genie plus. This is coming from someone who has high functioning Autism. DAS should only be for those who have a legitimate need and is not a substitute or a replacement of Genie plus or Lightning Lane. This is very similar to Cedar Fair’s DAS equivalent. This would very likely shutdown a lot of the abuse.
The entire purpose of DAS is for those who cannot be present in the physical line due to being overstimulated or due to sensory overload. An example would allow a guest with Autism to wait in a quiet area to avoid being overstimulated by not being exposed to loud noises and smells and other triggers for a long period of time. As for me, I went to Disneyland and Disney World and never needed the DAS (pre-COVID) because the Fastpass and Fastpass plus was plenty enough for me. I had a blast.
