To me autism is a spectrum, from statistically non neuro divergent (if there is something like that), to severely disabled (there may be more dimensions)
You can be non-autistic, or you can autistic. And if you are autistic, you exist somewhere on the autism spectrum.
If you are not autistic, you are nowhere on this spectrum.
yw. I think people treat is as black/white true/false. Like autisim is mostly the same. Im my experiences, the spectrum is very wide. I heard someone refer to it as flavors which I thought was interesting.
