Right, I missed a mark there. Rather it would be a list of personality traits being linked to autism. Neurodevelopmental disability or neurodevelopmental disorder fits better (implies incurable), but it has a negative connotation; precisely what I wanted to address. The article could have used a 3D cube to describe the spectrum. Then you get the colors and tints of it. Some people describe all the traits with spectrum, some severity of specific trait. 3D cube covers both, kind of like a 3D spectrogram, just multiple charts. The text then becomes context, and you immediately notice visually the differences. Context is still very much relevant though. I thought the article was good but missed the mark on the comparson of suffering. In general, high functioning autistics are (seemingly) more intelligent, and intelligent people seem to suffer more from things like depression, weight of the world being on their shoulders. My 3 y.o. (who appears to be intelligent and likely on spectrum) doesn't realize such yet. Innocence is a blessing in disguise.
