The autistic scale is a scale because no two are alike. You can have very different levels and very different symptoms, Oz. My adult son is a very high function autistic. To meet him he appears like anyone else...until he has to leave the room because he can't deal with the energy, can't look you in the eye, and can't handle social settings. However, it's my belief that those with Autism have a unique brain capacity to be extremely empathic and wide open to most psychic activity.
I hate labels, too, but knowing that this may be something that gives you an extra boost on the psychic side of things may help explain why and how you function in this world. Don't get caught up in the semantics or labels, but if you fall on the spectrum at least you have the knowledge of what and why some things happen for you. I consider my son simply normal with boosted skills due to his autism. It's like having upgraded radar!
Interesting to note that we have many members here who have let me know they fall within the spectrum.
