  • I don’t think this article quite gets it, either. The problem with “Autism is a spectrum” isn’t the word ‘spectrum’, but the word ‘a’. People understand what a spectrum and if autism were ‘a’ spectrum, they would be right to say that everyone is on it. However, it’s not ‘a’ spectrum. It’s a collection of spectrums. So an individual falling on the ‘autistic end’ of one of the spectrums doesn’t necessarily make them autistic.
