Well, it is a spectrum, which implies that you could theoretically put a percentage on it.
But your 12% and my 12% could be very different due to the expression of different traits.
Logarithmic spectrum.
Exponential
Autism people: stonks!
I've been sitting on this for like 5 or 6 days.
IT IS THE VACCINES
Honestly the people who are obsessive over vaccines are probably Autistic.
Well it is genetic, so if they’ve got kids who are autistic…
Wait, is the whole anti vaxx nonsense caused by the interaction in the meme on a macro scale between parents and children?
I dislike the concept of a single-axis, back-and-forth "spectrum" such as your 12% would imply, but more of a multidimensional conglomerate of myriad spectra (plural), where e.g. spoken language when not overstimulated is one, spoken language ability WHEN overstimulated is another, social interactions when not oversocial-ed is one axis, social interaction ability while oversocial-ed is another, tactile sensory is one axis, smell/olfactory sensory is another, visual sensory is another, etc.
Because that's the reality, is that it's a mish-mash of several interconnected axes and spectra, that tend to go off the rails a bit faster / more easily than NT / allists seem to go off the rails and break down
