I have a miscellaneous question in case you happen to have a perspective. Do you think it might be potentially ambiguous to use the general term "the spectrum" to refer only to the asperger's/autism spectrum? Human minds are wonderfully diverse, and I feel like it might downplay that diversity if we make it sound like there is only one spectrum of genetically-linked mental phenotypes. As some examples:

- eidetic memory

- depression

- perfect pitch

And much more. I've always wanted to ask this and was wondering if you had thoughts on this?

The word spectrum is a word in its own right. You can apply it to whatever you want.

What else are you going to do? Not make the best of what you have?

On the spectrum or not, you'll be gone in 100 years. May as well try and enjoy it while you're here.
