I look at it from the perspective that everyone is autistic, the question is only where on the spectrum you happen to sit. The vast majority of people sit so far to one side that it's imperceptible; let's call that the left side of the spectrum. Some people are high-functioning, still most of the way to the left, but venturing into the region far enough to the right that you can tell if you're looking for it. As you move further right, you eventually get to a non-functioning point and so on.
