This is like saying everyone is somewhere on the disabled spectrum.

Most people inhabit the region of the scale which gives no hint of any autism.

My question would be different.  Does a greater percentage of chess players suffer from autism than a percentage of autistic people in the general population?  I believe the answer is yes.  My question would be why?

 

In my view, Bobby Fischer was the greatest chess player that ever lived.  I still enjoy playing his games.  I'm eighty-three and will enjoy playing them for the rest of my life.
