Note, the spectrum does not end at 'neurotypical' and from what I understand, is not a singular spectrum because autism is a classification and can present in varied ways. There are individuals who have superlative function in the places where autistic individuals have atypical function. e.g. Where autistic individuals can display, say, difficulty with changes to an expected pattern, there are those who integrate changes with a fluidity exceeding the norm.
