Oh! It's a *Spectrum*!

Exactly. A complex one at that with all kinds of traits and behaviors from one end to the other of this spectrum, and in varying amplitudes.

Though as a spectrum, it's left with inherent ambiguities where I suspect many people on the spectrum want more of a "black and white" explanation when our condition is so riddled with "grey" considerations.

Agreed, but we need, like, 47 spectrums to represent how analytical, social, focused or unfocused, artistic, happy, anxious, energetic, depressed, emotional, imaginative, etc. each of us is.

That's quite a list of traits we have or don't have. It's almost like we're people or something.
