Autism

The autism spectrum is a range of lifelong neurodevelopmental conditions generally characterized by difficulties in social interactions and communication, repetitive behaviors, intense interests, and unusual responses to sensory stimuli. It is commonly referred to as just "autism" or, in the context of a professional diagnosis, autism spectrum disorder (ASD), although the morality of the usage of the term "disorder" is disputed.
Neurodiversity is common amongst the SpongeBob fanbase, consequently making autism a common theme throughout SpongeBob fanon works.
