This discussion ignores the whole topic of subclinical autistic traits (broad autism phenotype, or BAP for short-commonly found in close blood relatives of those diagnosed with ASD, and also among STEM professionals); and also the significantly heightened prevalence of autistic traits among people with other diagnoses (such as ADHD; personality disorders-especially BPD and ASPD; OCD; PTSD; eating disorders; the schizophrenia spectrum)-for some of those people a comorbid diagnosis of ASD may be considered appropriate, for many of them it would not be. In short: many people “seem a bit autistic” without actually “having autism” (in the sense that an ASD diagnosis would be viewed as being clinically appropriate for them).
