If the spectrum goes from no autism to all the autism then everyone’s on it somewhere, lol.

Probably some autism to all the autism.

Yes. If someone's not autistic, they're not on the spectrum. It's a spectrum within autism, that includes people with different needs and strengths!

Yea, it's not even like a sliding scale chart, more like one of those 4 quadrant graph things

Indeed. Not "more" or "less" as the extreme options.

“Spectrum” is a poor word because it implies a number line type deal, ranging from “not autistic” to “extremely autistic.” It’s more like a color wheel, where each color represents a symptom, and each color can be thought of as its own number line, where each autistic has more or less of each individual symptom. I am autistic.

No it doesn’t work like that at all, thank you very much. I get that your comment wasn’t meant with bad intentions but it is misinformation.

I’d call it a joke but misinformation is certainly accurate too so fair enough.
