What does it mean to be a little on the spectrum?
“On the spectrum” usually refers to the specific set of behavioral and developmental problems and the challenges associated with autism spectrum disorder. A diagnosis of ASD means that your child's communication, social, and play skills are affected in some way.
Can you be a little bit on the spectrum?
Autism is a significant developmental disorder that is usually diagnosed in very young children. 1 While it is possible to be mildly autistic, it takes more than a few quirks to earn the diagnosis.
How do you know if you are slightly on the spectrum?
Main signs of autism
finding it hard to make friends or preferring to be on your own. seeming blunt, rude or not interested in others without meaning to. finding it hard to say how you feel. taking things very literally – for example, you may not understand sarcasm or phrases like "break a leg"
Is clumsiness a symptom of autism?
Motor problems such as clumsiness, toe-walking and altered gait are well documented in autism. But most studies have been limited to children or have included adults only as part of a broad age range.
