> We are all on the autistic spectrum

I hope you're not being serious here because this is patently false and diminishes the experience of those who are actually on the spectrum.

If you do not match the criteria in the DSM, then no, you are not on the spectrum.

My understanding of the DSM (which I have not read) spectrums was that it included all peoples, with one end containing most individuals who have little to no symptoms indicative of a disorder and as we move further down the other end of the spectrum the number and intensity of symptoms increase.

Is my understanding incorrect here (genuine good faith question)?
