At some point the world will realize that if everyone is on the spectrum then no one is on the spectrum and we are just observing normal human behavior that does require correction.

As far as I can tell the "spectrum" was a bit of a mistake, in that it has led people to over-exaggerate their condition for victim points. It's not like 20-30 years ago, the "on the spectrum" functional autists didn't exist, but they were just viewed as slightly weird or atypical and that was it. They were expected to contribute to society just like anyone else, and they were treated just like anyone else.
Now the "spectrum" enables the same types of people to wear autism like a badge, because they know it guilt trips people into behaving differently towards them. And instead of expecting them to contribute to society, suddenly they have an excuse to slack off while expecting society to carry their weight.
I have all the sympathy for proper autistic people, the ones that can barely communicate, that really can't function in society by themselves.
But for the "on the spectrum" crowd, the fact that you take pride enough of your "autism" to brag about it in your bio reveals that you have far deeper personality and mental issues than your autism.
