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