Personally, I phrase it this way: “Autism is a four-dimensional spectrum.” I think it triggers a person's imagination.

When I was invited in The Daily Report (Arirang), IIRC, I used, “Autism is a three-dimensional spectrum” instead of four-dimensional, to make it simpler, and the host loved it. Which had the same effect of firing up a person's imagination, instead of sticking with a linear left-to-right line.

In a deeper and longer discussion, I compare autism to an audio mixer. Each dial and faders representing an autistic trait and quirk, and the audio mixer is the autistic person.

I like using the audio mixer because it gives an option to also demonstrate hyper and hypo, especially when it comes to sensory sensitivities. In an audio mixer, the middle is neutral. So in a hyper and hypo explanation, it would be sliding the fader up or down (or the dial clockwise or counter).

Then one can show an image of a high-end audio mixer, and boom, that's how unique autistics are from each other.
