Can you please elaborate?

To me autism is a spectrum, from statistically non neuro divergent (if there is something like that), to severely disabled (there may be more dimensions)

You can be non-autistic, or you can autistic. And if you are autistic, you exist somewhere on the autism spectrum. If you are not autistic, you are nowhere on this spectrum.

Neuro Typical is the term you are looking for. And, I agree with you about the spectrum. But people seem to take it more extreme.

Thank you for the term I was missing. What are the "more extreme" elements?

yw. I think people treat is as black/white true/false. Like autisim is mostly the same. Im my experiences, the spectrum is very wide. I heard someone refer to it as flavors which I thought was interesting.
