Well, ok, but that's not what I'm doing. I'm using neurotypical to describe people who don't have neurodivergent brains. I think there's arguments that there is no "neurotypical" at all, but it should be clear that when we're discussing autistic people, everyone who's not autistic is in the "other" group.

Either way, there are many other ways to "handle with" authority, notice also my quotes. These are even on different axes: understanding or not there's something going on, accepting or not what's going on, agreeing or not with what's going on, acting or not on what's going on... anything you simplify there between the two groups, will be wrong.

I don't know if I'm being argued with/downvoted because I said "all neurotypical people are this way" (which I did not, explicitly) or for some other reason. None of this thread makes sense to me.

Isn’t it called a spectrum for a reason?

[chownie]

If the autism spectrum were represented as an input paradigm it would be a color picker rather than a number range.

It is not from 0 autism to 100 autism, it's more like a combination of sensory processing, language, social communication and executive functioning differences.

What?
