If everyone's on the spectrum, then no one is on the spectrum.

    In the sense that "on the spectrum" is often used to say that someone has autistic traits, yeah. But there would still be a spectrum and everyone would be on it, it would just reach from no autistic traits to maximum autism.

    That one really makes no sense.

    Everyone's on a spectrum between perfect vision and blindness as well. What would it even mean to not be on a spectrum between perfect vision and blindness?

    Same with autistic traits. Everyone's on a spectrum between "no autistic traits" and "100% autistic traits". Where would someone be who's not on that spectrum?
