What you're describing is the whole reason it's called autism *spectrum* disorder
- armchairhacker 1y agoTrue, but it's still very vague. "I'm autistic" could mean "I'm non-verbal and can't function without constant care", "I'm very good at hacking, but need help with basic things", "I can function independently, but tend to over-think and over-explain and can't read people's emotions", "I can read people's emotions but am overwhelmed by them, I'm also unusually soothed by ASMR", "I'm unusually irritated by ASMR"...and there's no boundary that separates "real" autism from almost normal with certain traits slightly elevated.
