Not familiar with measurement for the spectrum, so is there a gradation for it? Light Medium, Extreem? Rain Man syndrom?Depending on who is doing the scoring I might even be on the spectrum. I have poor social skills and certainly have a knack for many engineering type things. In my school days I excelled in math and science but did poorly in every language related course. I can be very OCD in many ways. However, I have never been considered by my myself or anyone else as being Autistic. I believe that proves nothing. Just saying. The main reason for this is because the word was never in my vocabulary and I was never aware of the condition until I saw the movie "Rain Man" starring Dustin Hoffman and Tom Cruise.
Um, ya. Met a few with some quirks but nothing off the chart in terms to movements rhythmic body motions linked with hyper active mental abilities.

Edit: Although, one of my Granddaughter's, the oldest twin, she will exhibit movement while speaking but not always, sitting upper body slight half round rotational movement, will continue after expressing her communication, especially if she is looking for afformation, like getting a part-time job, school subjects, grades always A student. Where as the younger displays none of those and is just average. So, maybe my grand-daughter now that I think about it.
