    It could be overused now where it wasn’t before. Or it could be where it was suppressed before. It may be somewhere in the middle. Which is better than being ignored and alienated, even if some use is more hype than realism.

    I think we’re all on a spectrum in lots of different ways. Rainbows. Rainbows everywhere.

      Saying we are all on the spectrum is the same as saying nobody is on it.

      That’s why I’m skeptical. Saying you are autistic has no meaning anymore. Anyone could say it and believe it abotu themselves.

      That’s VERY different than getting clinically diagnosed.

        No he’s right. It s a spectrum and everyone is on it. That includes “perfectly average” is a dimension of that spectrum. Same goes for sexuality, it’s also a spectrum, so everyone’s at least a little bit gay.
