    neurotypical end of the spectrum

    Not how the spectrum works. There’s no “neurotypical” end. Assuming we’re talking about autism, the spectrum refers to the diversity and expression of symptoms, rather than a gauge between “no autism” and “full autism”.

    If you meant you are less debilitated by your autism, then the term is “Level 1”, which is just low support needs.

      I’m personally a fan of the little wheel where you scale your symptoms (idk if that’s the right word) 1-5 because even “neurotypical” people will still probably have a 2 or higher in at least one category
