I'm not autistic or anything, so it's definitely your prerogative to tell me to shut the gently caress up, but isn't it kind of messed up to say "my amount of autism is great, but people who are more autistic than me definitely need help"? Either it's a disease that needs curing or it's not. Maybe this is an inherent problem with it being a "spectrum" of disorders?

Most diseases and disorders have different levels of severity, and it's not only possible but commonplace for people with the severe form to have their lives significantly affected while people with the mild form might not even bother with treatment. Diseases and disorders are not always black-and-white things. The idea of treating only the severe form of a disorder while leaving the mild form alone as long as it doesn't worsen is something that already exists.
