2d spectrums exist. autism being one example where it’s both sensory under / overstimulation and repetitive activity preference / avoidance.

  I suspect that autism is more a cluster of conditions than a single line. I may be wrong. There is a fashion for calling everything a spectrum. Maybe "range" would be a better term for a linear progression.

    In my experience, so is dyslexia
    • randall 10mo ago
      yeah this was more my point. even eyesight deficiencies are 2d.
    • nephihaha 10mo ago
      FWIW some face blindness is common in autism, and I suspect this is somehow related to dyslexia.

        That's interesting. I know someone who's dyslexic, highly educated (grad school), not autistic, and has some level of face blindness.

    yeah. autism is a bunch of 3d clustering things for sure. any single dimension of autism can be sliced 2d imo.
