Good question, I have considered the post-accident autographs "authentic" but I can see where you could see both points of view. I know that PSA/DNA has an autograph rarity scale and they list Campanella at an 8 (with the likes of Cobb, Comiskey and Stearnes), with 10 being the rarest. So it seems they treat his post-accident signature as a type of autopen.
IMHO-Even post accident, each signature he made with the device was unique and he had played some part, both mentally and physically, in each signature that was signed, so I count it.
Just my 2 cents.
