I get that, but as a poster just pointed out, they are all diagnosed as "on the spectrum" in the newest diagnostic manual.That's not necessarily spectrum though---sorting is a classic OCD symptom and things that bother you also fall into sensory processing. Autism is largely a social disorder and it's comorbid with a lot of other disorders that all tend to get clumped together under the umbrella of "Autism Spectrum" when they're actually picked apart and diagnosed separately. Most people just say my child is Autistic and that ends a conversation/questions very quickly because of it's implied social context.
