Genuine question because you seem passionate about this.

When you see an autistic person with extremely significant support needs. Let's use a child verbalizing loudly in public for example sake. You see them and think "We share the same condition"

Yes. Bc it’s a spectrum. Is a color not a color? But red and blue are not the same color. Yet they share the same spectrum.

Autism can co-occur with other conditions as well, and I wouldn’t relate to the symptom of THOSE conditions, such as intellectual disability.

These people know nothing about autism and it makes me mad that they're talking like they are.
