  • Autism is a Spectrum

    What does it mean exactly that autism is a "spectrum"? To me, it means that there are constellations of autistic traits, which different autistic people exhibit to varying degrees. For example:

    * I am hypersensitive to noise and light. Some autistic people aren't hypersensitive to noise and light, but are hypersensitive to other things.

    * I am very high in masking¹. Some autistic people don't mask at all.

    * I have a high systematizing quotient—I think in terms of systems. Some autistic people don't.

    * I have poor short-term memory². Some autistic people have excellent short-term memory.

    * I had no speech delay in my developmental years. Some autistic people never learn to speak.
