Clarification about autism spectrum, if I may. It's a neurodevelopmental disorder, not a personality disorder or whatever. This means, just like we have varying personalities on the neurotypical spectrum, we have varying personality types on the autism spectrum. The spectrum itself isn't based on differences in personality, but on how high functioning the person on the spectrum is. This means you could have someone with autism who is utterly introverted and another who is full on extraverted. To tell if someone is on the autism, you have to observe that person in real life and see how they interact with people, observe their body language, note special interests, if they have sensory issues, etc. People with autism, just like neurotypical people, can and do often suffer from other problems (comorbid disorders they call them). Just throwing this out there because some people still don't understand what it really is.
