The autism spectrum isn’t a scale ranging from ‘a little autistic’ to ‘really autistic’.

The problem with treating the autism spectrum as a scale ranging from mild to severe is that on one hand, a ‘mildly’ autistic person’s needs go unmet. On the other hand, a ‘severely’ autistic person’s dignity and emotions are ignored.

I am not ‘on the spectrum’. I’m somewhere over the spectrum. I’m covered from head to toe in it. We autistics radiate every color of the spectrum from a constantly morphing ball of prismatic light. We ARE the spectrum.

Thank you. I am sad right now because being a “professional” is getting in the way of me being able to bring my best self AND contribute in ways we really, really need, because our society doesn’t understand that in order to -make- a difference we need to BE different.

I don't think people ever meant ill when they said "on the spectrum." (Well, I suppose they could have.) It might have just been the best explanation they had at the time.

If it's not a good descriptor than does everyone concerned agree that we should have people start saying "all over the spectrum" instead? And if we do do we also agree that sometime down the road we won't say that "all over the spectrum" is a poor descriptor?

I like this more. I hate that phrasing for some reason.

Thank you! I can pass as neurotypical for a few hours. But it costs me so much. People always call me high functioning. And I actually always treated it as a compliment cause I could pass. Only recently I am starting to mask less.
