This is probably wrong, but if autism truly is a spectrum, it would sort of make sense that everyone is on this spectrum, similar to the spectrum of gender or sexuality. You can't be on or off the spectrum; you're on it. If this is the case, most people are on the low end of the spectrum, i.e. not very autistic. The people we think of as "having autism" are on the high end. That leaves a whole bunch of people in the middle, which would maybe help explain people with difficulty making eye contact, sensory sensitivities, and things like that. In other words, I think we're all a little autistic. #psychology
