Everything I attempt to accomplish, is like "you can't make a silk purse out of a sows ear"
You can't measure your quality of communication, so you can't objectively claim it is getting better
However anyone could say anything |

The solar system contains about eight billion people
About half of them are women
Not everyone likes the same thing
Diversity
Anyone could like or dislike anything for any reason or no reason
How much you like something could be involuntary, natural or subconscious |

Yes
"On the spectrum" sounds so vague
Many things are "spectrums", such as gender identity and sexual orientation |
