EP 271 — Autism as a Spectrum: What That Really Means (And Why Most People Get It Wrong)

from And How Does That Make You Feel? · host Jack Heyworth

Send us Fan MailWhat does it actually mean when we say autism is a “spectrum”? In this episode, we break down why it’s not a simple scale from mild to severe, and how autism really shows up as a unique profile of traits in each person. Learn why labels like “high functioning” can be misleading, how different strengths and challenges coexist, and why understanding the spectrum properly changes how we see — and support — people.
